Electrolyte Imbalance: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Electrolyte imbalances, caused by excessively high or low levels of minerals like sodium and potassium in the body, are discussed. These imbalances, often stemming from underlying health conditions or medication, can manifest with symptoms such as muscle weakness and heart irregularities. Diagnosis involves a blood test (electrolyte panel), and treatment varies depending on the specific imbalance, potentially including intravenous fluids or medication. Prevention focuses on maintaining adequate hydration.
