>If you do have high blood pressure, supplement with potassium

Note that for some very common blood pressure meds, potassium is contraindicated and can lead to hyperkalemia (excessive potassium). This should be indicated in a warning printed on the bottle.

Hyperkalemia can kill you by stopping your heart.

Which is why it’s impossible to buy potassium supplements in some parts of the world.
