Hi,
The elevated potassium level is not related to your routine drugs and. it has to be evaluated thoroughly. You can consult a physician and get evaluated. You have to do a serum potassium assay and an ECG as high potassium can cause abnormal heart rhythm. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
