Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis is a rare genetic disorder that affects muscle function. It is characterized by episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis, which can be triggered by factors such as exercise, stress, or high potassium levels in the blood. The condition is caused by mutations in genes that regulate sodium channels in muscle cells. During an episode, individuals may experience sudden muscle weakness, often affecting the arms and legs. Symptoms typically resolve within a few hours, but the frequency and severity of attacks can vary. Management often includes dietary changes and medications to help control potassium levels and prevent episodes.
