Arrhythmia may lead to hyperkalemia. If a patient develops symptoms such as limb numbness and palpitations, hyperkalemia should not be ruled out as a possible cause. It is recommended that the patient seek immediate medical attention, complete relevant examinations, and receive targeted treatment after the specific cause is identified. During treatment, maintaining emotional balance, avoiding excessive anxiety, and keeping a positive mindset can help improve symptoms.
