Yes, your potassium is #1 on AF's Most Wanted List. I know you said in your previous thread that you have kidney issues. Get the function tested and then discuss supplementation with your doctor. It clearly needs to be done. Don't take no for an answer, unless the kindeys preclude it.
Bananas, while good, aren't something you want to eat a whole bunch of. They have a very sedative effect on the gut muscles. You may find yourself constipated if you overdo it.

If you have thyroid problems, do not eat soybeans, they interfere with the uptake of the thyroid hormone.

Quite often, it's beneficial to take a measured amount of a potassium supplement so you know exactly the amount you are taking in rather than shot-gun with how much is actually in the prospective food.

Carey - I agree that food sources are the best for potassium, but many afibbers don't have a Cardy meter and that can be a big problem if they are taking in too much K-containing foods. It's foolish to load up on potassium as the solution.

I don't know what "CR 74" means so haven't read his posts, but if normal dietary intake was causing him to become hyperkalemic then either he did indeed have some degree of kidney dysfunction or he was consuming outrageous quantities of potassium, far more than you can ingest even in the highest potassium diet imaginable.
And if you understand how potassium affects cardiac cells, it makes no sense for high potassium levels to cause PACs. That's the opposite of its mechanism of action.

Y'all can think what you want. I think this thread has become futile.
