Potassium is an essential nutrient used to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It plays a critical role in the transmission of electrical impulses in the heart, muscles, and nervous system.

A deficiency in potassium causes fatigue, irritability, and hypertension (high blood pressure).

Signs of high potassium blood levels include weakness, paralysis, and heart palpitations. For healthy people, getting too much potassium through foods is rare, although it's possible to take too much through supplements. People with certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease, are more likely to experience high potassium levels.
