Is there a thing as too much potassium?

[vacc]

Been thinking a bit lately, that too much potassium is bad for debloating? If you're consuming too much potassium (let’s say 8000mg supplemented) you're messing up your sodium balance by making it too low and then dehydrating yourself and therefore bloating even when consuming 4L of water?

I know the ratio should be 3-4:1, but people make it seem like you just simply can't get enough potassium. I've been supplementing it and will so test around a bit and see what I notice.
I do sports and sometimes consume this product called sodium bicarbonate (it helps lactace acid buildup in explosive movements, anyway. It’s really high in sodium and I take around 20-30g of it when I use it, which is 10-15g of just sodium. And surprising I haven't found myself to be bloated per say after using it, even sometimes finding myself to be quite debloated. So yeah, I will try and mess around to see what works I guess

Sry for retard layout I just cba low effort post

You fr need to ensure youre not ingesting to much. Potassium is an electrolyte in which if your body contains to much can throw your heart into arrythmias. Not only that but taking to much can bring down your sodium fast which is vital conponent to your body. If you hring it down snd ingest salt and bring the sodium content in your body back up to wuickly can fry your brains neurons
