Hi sandi,

Based on my research, it is said that there are often no symptoms associated higher levels of potassium. However, some of the symptoms that may occur include: Nausea, a slow or weak pulse, or even suddenly collapsing due to a slow heartbeat. Despite how freaky that may sound, it would take someone eating 75 bananas in just under a few minutes in order to experience on overdose of potassium. Hopefully that helps put things into perspective.

As far as low potassium levels are concerned, symptoms of hypokalemia may include: Abnormal heart rhythms, constipation, fatigue, muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis), muscular weakness or spasms, or even Paralysis (which can include the lungs).

For your own verification, the information above is referenced from:

I hope this helps!
