Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that high potassium levels can cause cardiac arrhythmias and very high levels can cause cardiac arrest. He should avoid all kind of drinks. Consult his cardiologist regularly and get his KFT done.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap
