mentioned foods rich in K. not to take them all
Detailed Answer:
I did not mean to take all of them I provided an alternative to the potassium supplements which you don't need any more since you started potassium sparing diuretics.
Also 4700 mg is average body need per day. I want you to know that potassium check is necessary have regular follow ups of this.
Please get your cardiologist and nutritionist for discussing these options.
