Is Immediate Medical Attention Needed For Elevated Potassium Levels?
I had a blood test a month ago that showed my potassium level was high. Doctor recommended I get tested again after a month, which I did a few days ago. Results still show potassium levels high but has lowered slightly (still higher than reference range). Dr has now suggested another test in a month. Should I be doing anything with more urgency?
