I usually feel like I am going to throw up almost a half hour after eating the banana.

You have not described your symptoms thoroughly enough I'm afraid. Too much potassium and affect your heart in a bad way. A banana doesn't contain enough potassium to really mess you up though.. Best call you Dr.

too much potassium only makes you sick if you have bad kidney function-and i mean kidney disease-you need to go to see a doctor-too high potassium can cause vomiting heart palpatations,heart attck-but i have never heard of someone with normal kidney function having a problem with it-indeed most people dont get enough-you can have kidney disease and not know it until you are very sick then you go staight on dialysis or die-so hopefully your just allergic to bannanas -but please see a dr- call the dr who gave you the meds today
