I have never seen anyone dying due to high intake of potassium through fruits. it is the artificial potassium given as supplements for diuretics that is the culprit. every medicine to generate more urine like Lasix Brings down potassium,so doctors do give potassium as supplement to avoid side effects like cramps. check your prescription and write back. spironolactone is a diuretic too with lesser side effects but it leads to Increase in levels of potassium. be careful about supplements as medicines and if you are taking, you better be careful about diet rich in potassium but remember that you will be losing out on other essential minerals and vitamins too. do write back with list of medicines you are taking.
