Tag: Sudden sensitivity

Approximately 10% of the population experiences some form of alcohol sensitivity, a condition where the body struggles to process alcohol. A sudden sensitivity to alcohol can occur unexpectedly, signaling a number of potential underlying changes in your body or health that should be understood.

According to the American Heart Association, at least 50% of people with high blood pressure and 25% of healthy individuals have salt-sensitive blood pressure, a condition where blood pressure responds drastically to changes in salt intake. If you've recently started noticing sensitivity, where even moderately salty foods cause bloating, thirst, or a blood pressure spike, the shift can be a sign of changes in your body's physiology, including diet, kidney function, and underlying health conditions.
