Welcome to HCM.It would help if you get a review done by your doctor who can examine him and investigate him to rule out Diabetes ,dyslipidaemia and gout.Foods rich in potassium include citrus fruits,fresh leafy green vegetables,bananas,mushrooms,fish(salmon),raisins,yoghurt and baked potatoes with skin.Avoiding fats ,especially saturated fats like cream,butter,fried foods,full creram milk and regular exercise will help.
