Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Since you have a nodule in adrenal gland ,it will be better to consult endocrinologist and discuss regarding management of the nodule if needed. adrenal nodule itself can give rise to increased hormonal level affecting blood pressure . you need to get check up and get tests as advised .
electrolyte imbalance may be there due to hormonal disturbance leading to cramps
proper diagnosis and management will take care of your problems .
