Potassium levels above 5.5 needs to be evaluated Causes are many including kidney disorders , BP medicines ,some painkillers ,and sometimes falsely elevated levels due to faulty sample. Weakness is one of the symptoms of hyperkalemia. Take her to the hospital in your area ,for clinical examination investigations.
