Head problem after acupuncture
I had a session with an acupuncturist ( for my chronic breathing discomfort)who put 2 needles each in my hands , palms and legs. Post that I started getting tingling sensation in my hands. He immediately removed the needles and said is normal. After a day I started getting buzzing sensation in my head and feeling little off balance. I went to my urgent care who did blood test and said my potassium and sodium level is low and prescribed potassium supplements. My question is can acupuncture cause such side effects? What can be the reason of low potassium? I am worried about any nerve damage
