This can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, medications, and certain medical conditions. Symptoms of an electrolyte imbalance can include muscle cramps, weakness, confusion, and irregular heartbeat. Treatment for an electrolyte imbalance may involve hydration, adjusting medication, or treating an underlying medical condition.
