Published 2024-08-03
What are Electrolyte Imbalances? Electrolyte imbalances are common medical conditions that occur when the levels of certain electrolytes in your blood become too high or too low. These Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and other bodily fluids that carry an electric charge. The main electrolytes in your body include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphate, and bicarbonate. These tiny charged particles are essential for various bodily functions, including maintaining proper hydration, balancing blood acidity and pressure, helping muscles contract, and transmitting nerve signals. An electrolyte imbalance occurs when the concentration of one or more of these electrolytes in your body becomes too high or too low. This disruption can interfere with normal bodily processes and lead to various symptoms and serious health issues.
