Hello Ma'am
Hope our last discussion and my advise to you on that would have helped.
Coming to your present query I would like to tell you that first of all you need to cross check whether it's mg or mcg.
Secondly don't worry body has a system to maintain equilibrium and excess potassium won't be absorbed and will be excreted out of body.
However if you anyways feel XXXXXXX er kind of palpitations or chest discomfort then kindly get an ECG done that done.
I hope this information will relieve your worries.
