Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Muscle Cramps In The Legs, Arms And Hands?
I am getting muscle cramps in my legs, arms & hands - these occur several times a day - could these be caused by blood pressure medication ? I do take lasix but also take a potassium supplement 20 MEQ twice daily, ,5mg Lorazepam @ bedtime. My blood pressure medication is Norvasc 5 mg.
These cramps could be due to deranged potassium levels in your blood. I need to know why are you taking potassium along with these medicines. I suggest you to check your potassium levels and consult your doctor in this regard.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
