Dr. Azeem Habeeb on Instagram: "Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis is a rare condition where low blood potassium causes sudden muscle weakness or temporary paralysis. Attacks can be triggered by high-carb meals, rest after heavy exercise, or hyperthyroidism. Diagnosis is made by low potassium during attacks, and treatment includes potassium replacement, trigger control, and preventive medication like acetazolamide. Early recognition can prevent serious complications. #HypokalemicPeriodicParalysis #r
