Reply to comment by abjennifleur in Diets with low potassium are associated with kidney injuries and a culprit in cardiovascular disease by giuliomagnifico

Lisinopril for high blood pressure can aggravate hyperkalemia (high potassium). But then, it turned out I was eating a very high potassium diet; lots of chicken, broccoli, bananas, and nuts. I cut out bananas. My cardiologist was funny, he said, "You got to eat brocolli, right? Its good for you." and told me to drink more water before the blood test and in general. Mine was on the edge of being high.

Oh that’s interesting because I’ve been on that for a bit now and my K was lower but I was also doing keto sometimes and that messes me up. I can never get the electrolytes right!! Thanks for your response!
