      First- why do you think your potassium level is high? The potassium level in the human body has a very narrow range of normal, measured by laboratory blood tests. The importance of potassium can not be overstated as an electrolyte that influences cardiac function. Trying to alter your level by yourself could be fatal. There are prescription medications that will lower your potassium level such as furosemide and sodium polystyrene sulfonate, but should only be taken under a doctors care.
