What Causes Sudden Cramping In Left Calf, Shortness Of Breath And Chest Pain?

you need to get ECG for chest pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you have two different problems not related to each other.
1.Leg cramp- such cramps are common due to lack of salt and calcium in body. I would suggest you to take one glass of water with one tea spoon full of salt whenever such cramps happen. Also gentle rubbing of that part and hot water fomentation is helpful. Take 1000 mg calcium daily and 60000 unit vitamin D per week for six weeks.It will improve your muscle strength and you will never ave such cramps again.
2.For chest pain, you should get ECG to make sure that it is not related to heart.It is simple non invasive test. If their is normal ECG and your blood pressure is normal then it is a gastric related pain. If there is any change in ECG then you need to visit a cardiologist.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if their is any other followup questions.
thanks


swelling will go in a week
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You do not need to be worried about swelling.It will take one week to go. It is body's response to prevent movement and increase healing in that part. Also hot water fomentation is helpful.
thanks
