Could be. You may try to increase your potassium intake by taking potassium rich foods. Visit this site for information. Before discontinuing your potassium pills, talk to your doctor.

Potassium is an irritant to the stomach that can cause nausea, Crushing it probably makes that much worse. In addition, potassium is a very important mineral for the body, especially the heart, and Lasix lowers it in the body. I would speak to your doctor about how you feel.
