Symptom #6: Hypertension
Hypertension is a term that describes high blood pressure. The blood pressure is a measurement of the pressure on the walls for blood vessels. It is used to measure the pressure in large arteries and expressing it in systolic and diastolic pressure.
Blood pressure can be affected by factors such as cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, and arterial stiffness. Studies have also shown that potassium levels can affect blood pressure levels. It was demonstrated that a low potassium intake increases blood pressure while a higher potassium intake lowers blood pressure.
