I'm not familiar with the term "hyper potassium." Potassium is an essential mineral in the body that helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signals. It's important to maintain a proper balance of potassium in the body to support overall health. If you meant hyperkalemia, that refers to high levels of potassium in the blood which can have serious health implications.


What will happen to a person's resting membrane potential if they take potassium enhanced intravenous solution?

A potassium enhanced intravenous solution would increase the concentration of potassium ions in the brain. Since potassium ions are positively charged, they depolarize the resting membrane potential. For example, a resting membrane potential of -65 millivolts would be depolarized to -62 millivolts. An appropriate concentration could lead to a significant depolarization of, say, -60 millivolts, at which point an action potential could be possible.


Can you have anxiety with low potassium?

Yes, low potassium levels can result in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and muscle cramps which may contribute to anxiety. However, anxiety is a complex condition with multiple factors involved, so low potassium alone may not be the sole cause.
