Thank you for asking! Polymyositis is muscle inflammation disease and hyperkalemia may develop from the illness and from the medicines too like servitude in your case. Next trouble is your Vegetarian nature, So seek a nutritionist for guiding better regarding avoidance of potassium rich supplements. Avoid steroids and any medicine that may cause hyperkalemia. Seek help as slight deranged potassium can be lethal. Take care
