A member asked:
My potassium level is always 3.5-3.6. i eat bananas, oranges and so on. i have to take iron pills. what can i do make sure it doesnt go low?

Your normal: Keeping eating bananas and taking orange juice. Are you taking any diuretics? Your levels are at the low end of normal, but still normal and may be your normal. You should discuss it with your doctor at the next visit. Taking iron pills will not affect your potassium.
