Possible, sure. But in order to have those symptoms you'd have to be -severely- deficient. So you should probably get your levels checked; it's just a simple blood test.
Potassium levels are measured as part of a standard CBC blood test, which is part of a wellness check, which should come to you at no cost assuming you have an insurance plan of any type at all.
You make an appointment for your yearly checkup, remind them that you haven't had your blood drawn in the past year, and boom. You get your potassium, fasting cholesterol, vitamin and mineral count, etc. etc. etc.

Just to clarify---potassium is usually part of a BMP or CMP, basic or comprehensive metabolic panel, respectively. CBC is complete blood count, which is for WBC, RBC, H&H, platelets and a few other things.
I have United Health Care plan. My deductible is 2100.00
Potassium tablets are cheap and widely available in pharmacies and health food stores.
Why not try taking them for a week or two to see what happens . A lot cheaper than $2100.
