10 Symptoms of Too Much Potassium
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Difficulty Breathing
We cannot live without oxygen, and it will only take a few short minutes without the gas before we die. This is not usually a problem for us, though, because our lungs are able to extract all the oxygen we need from the air that we breathe. Of course, though, this depends on our lungs functioning properly.
Potassium helps to regulate the functioning of all of our muscles, including those that help our lungs to inflate and deflate. As such, having too much of it in the body can mean the lungs don’t function as well as they normally would. It is something that can be dangerous so it should be seen to as soon as possible.
