Applies to a sign or symptom that is provoked or brought about by eating or drinking foods rich in potassium.
Comment:
In contrast to paramyotonia congenita or hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis, potassium-aggravated myotonias (PAM) patients show no muscle weakness and hardly any cold sensitivity. However, they show an aggravation of their myotonia after ingestion of potassium, which distinguishes them from patients with chloride channelopathies.
