It can be, if the electrolyte levels in your bloodstream go above certain levels. That’s why your doctor usually checks the electrolyte levels in your serum during your annual physical. However, it’s worth noting that consuming larger amounts of electrolytes doesn’t immediately and permanently change your blood chemistry. That’s because the kidneys maintain proper electrolyte levels by filtering water and electrolytes from blood and excreting excess amounts via urine. Still, a permanent overconsumption of electrolytes can lead to kidney damage. And if that vital organ stops working efficiently, your serum electrolyte levels can increase, leading to a host of health conditions including irregular heartbeat, fatigue, seizures, nausea, vomiting and more.
