Especially with diuretics. You can get an imbalance of salts vs potassium vs calcium vs magnesium (the mineral that regulates the electrical impulse of the heartbeat). My mother nearly died of this when 1: first both her magnesium and potassium levels were too low, and 2: when her potassium levels were too high and she had next to no sodium levels after limiting her salt intake to almost nil and taking potassium. There's a very fine balance between all of these minerals for the maintenance of your health. Please be careful taking only potassium. Especially with diuretics.
