Lethargy can result from potassium deficiency affecting energy metabolism. Anorexia can occur due to potassium's role in appetite regulation. Loose stools are not typically associated with potassium deficiency. Tinnitus is not a common symptom of low potassium levels. Overall, the correct choices directly relate to the physiological effects of potassium deficiency, making them the appropriate selections.
