What Causes Dizziness While Suffering From Severe Leg Cramps?
I m trying to follow a keto diet and I generally get leg cramps especially at night and sometimes they get so severe I almost faint. I drink pickle juice when they come on and I take Magnesium Malate 1250 mg, one in the AM and 2 at night. I don t know why I try to faint sometimes when I get these. I am trying to keep my fluids up. Thanks! Rhonda

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
On a keto diet, the electrolyte imbalance and the nutrient deficiency can cause the dizziness and leg cramps.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
