What Happens When Electrolytes Are Imbalanced?
Even mild imbalances can throw you off. Common signs include:
-
Muscle cramps or spasms
-
Fatigue and “brain fog”
-
Headaches
-
Irritability or mood swings
-
Poor sleep
-
Feeling bloated after drinking a lot of water
In more extreme cases, severe dehydration or illness, electrolyte imbalance can cause dizziness, heart irregularities, or worse (PhysioPedia).
