Symptom #5: High Blood Pressure
Blood pressure refers to the pressure of an individual’s blood circulation on the walls of blood vessels. It is a term that is typically used to describe the pressure in the large arteries and is expressed in terms of systolic and diastolic pressure.
Blood pressure is influenced by total peripheral resistance, cardiac output, and arterial stiffness. As observed in multiple studies, the level of potassium can affect blood pressure levels where low potassium intake increases blood pressure while high potassium levels lower blood pressure.
