Answer: (A) Hyperal dosteronism

Explanation:

In the case of hyperaldosteronism the levels of secretion of aldosterone increases. This can become responsible for alkolosis and hyperkalemia. High blood pressure, low levels of potassium, headache, muscle weakness, numbness and feeling tired are the symptoms of the hyper dosteronism. Also the increase in the content of sodium and decrease in levels of magnesium causes polyuria and polydipsia without causing polyphagia.

Bond [772]

well, since you are quite scared of being judged, you doing this shows that you are an open person who is ready to conquer your fears. You seem very introverted and awkward on the outside but on the inside you just want friends and have a big heart.

I hope this helps and by no means was I trying to offend you.

Is There Such A Thing As Too Much THC?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A fatal overdose is unlikely, but that doesn’t mean marijuana is harmless. The signs of using too much marijuana are similar to the typical effects of using marijuana but more severe. These signs may include extreme confusion, anxiety, paranoia, panic, fast heart rate, delusions or hallucinations, increased blood pressure, and severe nausea or vomiting. In some cases, these reactions can lead to unintentional injury such as a motor vehicle crash, fall, or poisoning.
