Ok so just because my legs are hurting doesn't mean my potassium is low right? I'm kinda creaking out cause my calves are hurting and I think I'm going to end up having a heart attack cause my potassium is low. I have feared this before. Nothing new just looking for reassurance. Anything else cause leg pain?

I'm going through the same thing today. I went to the E.R. day before yesterday, all looked perfect, but yes, low calcium, potassium, dehydration and magnesium can all cause it. For me today I think it's due to some dehydration.

Hope you feel better, take a good multi vitamin and eat a couple banana's.

Hate bananas. So I made like six different veggies for dinner. Plus some baked chicken

Shadawn Potassium is one of the cheapest vitamins you can buy,
get a big bottle and during weather like this just take a half, its a lot more than you would normally need. Peace

I drink tons of orange juice daily. It's my favorite drink. I love it so much that I have to take pepcid daily to help with the acid. Think this is just one of many of my health anxieties.

Drank a lot yesterday and leg cramps are totally gone, hope you are doing better Sha, I think with this weather it's common. After telling my mother about mine yesterday, she told me she has also been having leg cramps for this past entire week.

Went to dr this morning and turns out I have strep throat. So they are saying that is what's causing the muscle aches. They did take tons of blood though
