Are There Any Drug Interactions Between Potassium Gluconate And Lisinopril?

I have been taking Lisinopril for about a month to treat high blood pressure. My doctor gave me a BMP test yesterday to ensure that kidney function was not comprised. The results came back fine -- no kidney issue -- but my potassium level was low so she put me on a daily potassium supplement -- potassium gluconate 500mg. I have read that Lisinopril and potassium don't mix -- true? What should I be on the lookout for?
