10 Symptoms of Too Much Potassium
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Cramps
Cramps are most often experienced by athletes that are not in peak physical condition, but they can be experienced by other people as well. They are caused when signals are sent to the muscle telling them to contract involuntarily. There is often little that can be done, and they are sometimes very painful.
Because potassium is so important in regards to signals being sent to the muscles, too much of it can cause the signals to become confused. This can result in cramps and it can happen to people of all fitness levels. The cramps should hopefully stop once the high potassium levels have been addressed.
