Blood pressure and low potassium

I am on a blood pressure pill and almost every 2 weeks I have to have a blood test to check my potassium, which is always low. Is there a blood pressure pill I can take which does not lower my potassium?

Your doctor must be real dumb. There are several pills that do not lower potassium and have been around for 80 years. Ask your doctor for spironolactone or triamterene. These water pills do not cause lowering of potassium. As long as your kidneys are working fine, these pills wont cause marked increased in your potassium. However, you still need to undergo a blood test every few months to ensure that the potassium is not becoming high. When you take spironolactone or triamterene, avoid eating too many bananas or foods that contain potassium. So learn to read labels. These pills are not expensive and there are generic versions available.
