Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am ,

I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but unfortunately the symptoms you are experiencing are side effects of hydralazine which can. cause muscle cramps , pan or stiffness and/ or burning,itching, numbness, painful, "pins and needles", or tingling feelings of the skin..

I would recommend that you refer to an available doctor to give you a prescription of another substitute of an antihypertensive medication..

I hope you find this helpful..
