What Causes Excess Potassium In Blood While On Blood Pressure Medication?

i believe that I am taking too much medication for my heart. I just looked at the interactions chart for the high blood pressure medication that I am using and a potential interaction causing more potassium in my blood was shown. What do you suggest?

Hello,

Certain cardiac drug and BP meds can cause high potassium level. If the values are significantly high, you can consult a physician and ask for alternatives.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
