Answer 1

I am a 39 your old woman.One of my doctors had blood drawn to check all my levels. My potassium level was 7.3. I have a doctors app on the 29th, but I cannot stop worrying about it.I'm wondering how my levels got so high?Did this happen gradually or all of a sudden? And how will it be lowered?

Answer 2

This is known as Hyperkalaemia. Overuse of certain foods may cause high potassium level. Like Orange juice, potatoes, bananas. Some medications like Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), can rise potassium level. Salt substitutes often contain potassium. Over-eating salt will rise potassium level in body. Avoiding these things can remarkably lower your potassium level. Prefer not to take any medication if its not dangerous.

Answer 3

Hyperkalemia (high potassium) is most often caused by defective renal excretion (kidney disease), severe burns, intestinal obstruction or Addison's disease.
Please go see a doctor.
