They probably believed you were losing electrolytes. That's what Gatorade is for. I've had that effect with some medications and it works well in that regard. If it doesn't go away tell them again and they could see what to do including having your electrolytes tested if needed.
if its acking try tums also this helps leg cramps or charlie horses..if its a electrolyte imbalance then you need a blood test asap!!!!!!!! Gatorade's ok but for this you need more of potassium magnesm and salt to make it up..so get a blood test to determine this cause..
Thanks for the input. I'll make a appointment tomorrow with a regular doctor. And while I'm at, it I'll have my Cholesterol checked out too.
