Hello,
As you said you are on low potassium diet,electrolyte abnormality may also be the reason for increased heart rate(tachycardia) and muscle cramps so please check your serum electrolytes at first.It is better if you go to your family physician and have a clinical check up if possible.
Thanks,hope this may help you.have a nice day.
