10 Symptoms of Too Much Potassium
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Muscle Weakness
Strong muscles are not only important for athletes. Having strong muscles also makes it easier for people to move around freely and they also provide other health benefits, such as helping to burn off excess fat. If you have too much potassium in your body, though, then you can lose some of this strength.
Potassium is important for us because it helps our muscles to work, but too much of it can have an opposite effect. Patients can feel as though they become physically weaker, no matter how healthy they might otherwise be. Patients should be able to regain their strength once potassium levels have reached normal levels again.
