Neurological Symptoms
In general, there would be more sodium outside and more potassium inside of body cells. This electrolyte gradient plays a key role in driving the pumping of sodium and potassium. When you are suffering from hyperkalemia, the high levels of potassium would change the balance and affect the basic functions of your brain. Several common neurological signs include tingling sensations and reduced reflexes. In some rare cases, you might experience numbness in several limbs. [6]
