What specific step two pain meds might leave me with a high potassium level? I eat bananas like a monkey and ate banana cream pie just before I went to the doctor for a blood test. I have had some tingling in my hands, and had to use Ibuprobens also.

What is "too" high a reading number? Can this be cured? Should I be worried?
The doctor's office called me in for another test, but I haven't been yet; I am supposed to fast first.
Please answer if you can, I'm 49, (my brother was just diagnoised with diabetes,) Might I get diabetes or worse yet die?
Also I've just started taking Theeragran-M and Omega-3's.
Am I a train wreck in the making?

Sincerely,
Cheryl
