Iron Jump & Potassium

I'm kind of surprised but I guess nothing should be surprising--I just don't know what it means. My hemoglobin is normal. It's 12.6 or more. I asked if it was normal for hemoglobin to go from 11.5 to 12.6 in one week and the doctor said it was pretty unusual He said something about this being almost a pint of blood.

So then I asked if anything else was abnormal and it was just my potassium--it was just a point below the cut-off mark. So it was technically abnormally low but barely so. He said the main symptom with this is muscle weakness and I guess I've had some cramping but didn't think about it.
