Mrs D thanks. I've been getting potassium tested for years and it always comes in at the lower end of range. I've been taking extra potassium for a couple yrs now for Fatigue and now seeing the blood pressure connection. I know I don't get requirements from my foods...You mention cantalope, I haven't had any cantalope in a long time...hardly ever eat it when it's in season. Just bought some new bottles of coconut water which is high in potassium so I'll work on that for a while.

My D.O. really doesn't get into blood work etc, she concentrates on bodywork for an hour when I see her. Saw her today and we talked potassium some...told her I'm taking more and cutting out 1 cup of coffee daily. She took BP after my session and it was acceptable.

On the food scene, I don't eat white potatoes, a sweet a couple times a week and 2-3 bananas a week...then my other drinks that are high in potassium.
