Just get a blood test done to find your potassium level.
.Get your bloodwork done and your doctor will tell you. If you exercise and sweat a lot or have muscle cramps, you might want to add more potassium rich foods to your diet (the supplements tend not to be absorbed as well).
Some foods high in potassium are fish, various fruits, meats, nuts, etc (see source link)
