Does anyone have an opinion on whether it's ok to eat bananas and kale or other food high in potassium with Bisoprolol? I've just seen info that suggests it's not a good idea....

For answering my query - I eat REALLY healthily (always have done) and haven't had any obviously bad reaction to eating Kale and bananas but will make a mental not now when I do in case my heart starts racing or have any other symptoms.
I didn't know about grapefruit, and I take Nifedepine but fortunately HATE grapefruit - phew!
Anything else I should know about food I can/can't eat? I'm a very good cook, realy foodie and was delerious with joy at finding a decaf coffee bean that tastes like the full fat version so I don't feel I'm mising out. Lavazza if anyone is interested!

Seems lately I've read some unhealthy info for every possible food and drink. All is either poisoned with additives, preservatives, coloring etc. if that's not bad enough, cooking methods can cause damage. Things I've prepared and refrigerated for future consumption for years without problems are now bad and I watched a video saying it should not be kept more than 1 day. Plant and animals are fed chemicals that we end up consuming and supposed scientists keep adding to the list.
It is too late for me to die young, too much information to determine good from bad. Plan to continue with what's worked in the past.

The NHS is pretty clear that a normal diet, mixed, matched to your requirements, does not require either bananas or kale to be excluded. Other health sites, not necessarily mainstream organisations, do mention potassium. However, WHO suggest that potassium can help lower blood pressure.
So, you might not want something that acts in conjunction with prescribed medication. A classic one is the avoidance of grapefruit with Nifedipine. Grapefruit enhances the effect of Nifedipine. So much so, the pharmacy label says avoid grapefruit.
When I asked my GP about reducing my salt (sodium) intake, he was pretty dismissive about it and said that it would be a long time before having to consider that.
It’s always a good idea to trawl through the PIL (Patient Information Leaflet) that comes with medication or simply search for it.
What you could do is keep a record of BP and the occasions you eat either of those. Just make sure you do BP at least twice a day under the same conditions.
