ACE Inhibitor related high potassium level

My POTASSIUM level is 5.2 due to using Perindopril Arginine 5mg > which is unacceptably high. I need to eat greens, lentils and vegetables in order to stay healthy yet ACE inhibitor is causing me high potassium which is in these health foods. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Any suggestions?

Go to your doctor and explain this so he can prescribe you a different dosage of Perindopril Arginine.

I know some BP meds cause a rise in K.
I thought it was aldactone that was the main one?
Ask your doc to change your med to another one?
