leg spazams and weight loss
by ELVIS213, Oct 19, 2007 09:27AM
I have lost 45 pounds, by not eating hardly any carbs and no sugars expect what is found naturally in fruits and other foods. No breads. In the last 3 weeks, I have been having muscle spazams in my ankle mostly my right ankle. The only releif I get is to get up and walk. This only occurs during sleep. So my sleep is interupted almost nightly. I have another 30 pounds to lose. I have atrial Fibulation which is under control. I am on Carizam and blood thinner. Am I lacking potassium or some other mineral that I'm not getting in my diet. Can you suggest foods that I can eat to raise my potassium. I have no desire to eat sweets or fats or carbs.

Why are you on these meds? You have a complicated medical history. Muscle spasms are commonly due to calcium deficiency. Not always. Try drinking a large glass of lactose-free milk every evening.
