I do have high blood pressure and I do take potassium because it was low, only prescripition medicine. I also have high cholersterol and I take presciptions for that. I obese, I m 63 and a few times lately, like yesterday i was standing in the kitchen and all of a sudden i noticed my knees were knocking and I was miledly shaking. So i ate a banana and sat down. I took my blood pressure 111/67, Pulse 67. After about 20 minutes it all calmed down. Gwynne
