Do anyone knows what causes this?!
Question:
Do anyone knows what causes this?
Sat. I've been having leg cramps. I thought it was my potassium,so I ate bananas. I still have the leg cramps they are worst. Also sometimes it feels as my arms and face is hurting as well.I'm eating a banana a day sometimes twice. Just last month I been to the doc. my potassium was 4.0. I don't know what causes these cramps. I feel tired,in the morning I notice lower stomach pain,feel like my period at times mixed with other cramps.Along with dizziness. I don't know what's wrong,I know I'm in pain. I don't need no one telling me to see a doc. Just what u think.Also I started Norvasc like a month ago all the phamacies told me iis not the med.I feel like I'm about to go insane.
Answers:
a lot of things come to mind... maybe an electrolyte imbalance (not just potassium) and/or dehydration?? .... go drink some gatorade or one of those sports drinks and maybe eat something salty.... also I believe too much calcium can cause cramps... something else that this could be is a lack of Iron ... many women end up being short on this nutrient and become anemic..... did your doctor do a cbc (complete blood count) when he did the potassium test?? if so this would tell if you are anemic... maybe the best thing to recommend (outside of checking back with your doc) is a multivitamin.... I hope this helps...
