Hypokalemic sensory overstimulation
Okay kiddo, let me tell you about hypokalemic sensory overstimulation.
Your body needs different chemicals to work properly, like potassium. When you don't have enough of this chemical in your blood, it can cause something called hypokalemia. This means your muscles might feel weak or crampy, and you might feel dizzy or sick.
Sometimes, when people have hypokalemia, they might also feel like their senses are going a bit wild. This is called sensory overstimulation. It's like someone turned up the volume on all the sensations you feel - like things are too loud, too bright, or too busy.
This can be really uncomfortable and overwhelming for people. It's like when you get a lot of toys and you don't know which ones to play with first.
Doctors can help treat hypokalemia with medicine or changes to your diet, so your body gets enough of the chemicals it needs to work properly.
