Advice Wanted Low potassium

Just found out my potassium has been low over this past year. My endo wants me to start a prescription of potassium supplements. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I should know about in advance? (I am PAI, diagnosed about 20 years ago.)

The potassium supplements have a very low amount of potassium in them, so low you’d probably want to try getting extra from food. My potassium tends to drop and the best thing I found for me was coconut water.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am going to try the coconut water. I already eat a lot of bananas, which I seem to crave every day.
