How to deal with high blood pressure and high potassium?

My husband has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure and was put on a low sodium diet. Further blood tests show his potassium levels are too high, so he is to avoid high potassium foods. What I have found suggests avoiding any salt substitutes or lite salt products, avoid whole grain breads and cereals, milk, yogurt, etc. The “heart healthy” diet his doctor gave him suggests eating whole grains and using “lite” salt as well as low-fat dairy products. So how do you balance the two conflicting diets?

I’m young and I’m a runner. My doctor gave me the OK to run a marathon. In other words, I’m in great shape and I think that my body is well adapted to stress in general.
