Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. You do not have any symptoms of low potassium, so not to worry.2. Taking excess potassium is dangerous. So always try to supplement in diet.3. You can take bananas, fish, apricots, beans and sweet potatoes to improve your potassium. Take medication until its normal, then continue with diet. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
