Heart Arrhytmias during new soup diet

My friend who is a vegan gave me a recipe for a vegetable soup originally suggested by a Dr. Biehler many years ago. It is a combination of celery, parsley, zucchini and green beans to which you add water and boil. No spices are added. You then blend the ingredients. It is quite tasty, though bland, but since I've been using it (the last 3 days) I've had atrial fibrillation off and on including all last night!  I am prone to this, and nobody knows why, but am on medication for it. I am wondering if this soup possibly is upsetting my potassium balance?  Anyone know if healthy veggies can cause heart rhythm problems?

I don't see this soup would give you any problems at all. It looks like a very healthy soup to me. I may give it a try as I am always looking for a tasty soup.

As far as the the heart issues and potassium, I would look at any meds or chemo you might be taking at this time. I know my potassium levels during chemo became low enough I had to have infusions to correct my levels. I'm on Femara and am having issues with it as well. I am on suppliments for potassium as well as tonic water which has quinine in it my body seems to need.
