I just learned that i have potassium level of 5.6. my creatinine & bun were normal, but i am worried. advice on what to do before i see dr next week?

HYDRATE!!!: Force fluids: Electrolytes rich 8-10 8 oz. glasses of Powerade, G, Vitamin water, Pedialyte and sugar water. Call physician for protracted vomiting. Jell-O made with Powerade, Vitamin Water, or G-OK After 48 hrs.: soft bland diet: boiled chicken, dried tuna, mashed potatoes. Must be passing urine every 2-3 hours, if not, increase fluid intake.

High potassium.: There’s really nothing to do right now with that level of potassium excepted to repeat the blood test. It is not unusual for the potassium level to be falsely elevated in a blood test. So the first thing we would want to do is repeat this level to see if it is truly elevated or just falsely elevated.
