Hi
Your potassium is normal though it is on upper limit.
It could be due to potassium rich meal previous 12-24hrs like fruits and green vegetables.
Recheck after a couple of weeks.

It is not alarmingly high... but it is still abnormal for someone with normal kidney function to have high potassium
Did u recently take any painkillers.
Also do u have high bp or any other diseases
For the stomach pain, pls get an ultrasound
