Unlikely a connection between cough and cramps, need care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Night cramps are multifactorial and i dotn see any connection between cough and cramps, they both look like separate entities.
The cause of muscle cramps isn't always known. Muscle cramps may be brought on by many conditions or activities, such as:
Exercising, injury, or overuse of muscles.
Pregnancy. Cramps may occur because of decreased amounts of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, especially in the later months of pregnancy.
Exposure to cold temperatures, especially to cold water.
Other medical conditions, such as blood flow problems (peripheral arterial disease), kidney disease, thyroid disease, and multiple sclerosis.
Standing on a hard surface for a long time, sitting for a long time, or putting your legs in awkward positions while you sleep.
Not having enough potassium, calcium, and other minerals in your blood.
Being dehydrated, which means that your body has lost too much fluid.
Taking certain medicines, such as antipsychotics, birth control pills, diuretics, statins, and steroids.
You may need to try several different ways to stop a muscle cramp before you find what works best for you. Here are some things you can try:
Stretch and massage the muscle.
Take a warm shower or bath to relax the muscle. A heating pad placed on the muscle can also help.
Try using an ice or cold pack. Always keep a cloth between your skin and the ice pack.
Take an over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve). Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
If your doctor prescribes medicines for muscle cramps, take them exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor if you have any problems with your medicine.
Drink plenty of fluids. Sports drinks, such as Gatorade, will often help leg cramps.
If the symptoms persists or exacerbate, i would advise a visit to an doctor and let them have a look to rule out any deeper causes. Rest i am sure it wont come to that.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discusison please.
may the odds be ever in your favour.
