| Cramps-- My type...
I'm new as of 6 hours ago...
My severe cramps were mainly in my sleep at night or rarely during a day nap. They were in my calves and feet (bottom and top or arch). I was taking (1) Lotensin 40mg, (1) Digoxin 25mg, (1) Atenolol 25mg, and (1) Lasix pill.
I would be asleep and when I somehow felt the cramp(s) coming on...I would immediately awake and curl up my feet/toes towards my knees. It became so natural that I would instantly do so. It is when I delayed that the cramp became distented and that required getting out of bed, putting my one foot or both onto the floor and stretch forward over my feet to stretch the calves out much like a runner does before or after jogging/racing. That hurt! And rarely would that same muscle go into a 2nd or 3rd cramp after stretching. Now those kind really made me wish I had no pain sensitivity!!!!
Think on this: I'm somehow associating these cramp onslots to the use of nitrite and somtimes nitrate in red meat such as hot dogs and luncheon meat as I did have minor cramps just last week after eating two Hebrew Hot Dogs.
The symptoms happen usually on the 2nd and sometimes the 3rd day after ingestion.
Any comments?
