Can Low Sodium And Chloride Levels Cause Muscle Cramps In Leg?
I have low sodium and chloride levels. I think the low levels are causing severe cramps or spasms and weakness in my legs . What is the best way to replace the sodium and calcium levels without raising my blood pressure? I am taking blood pressure medication.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
muscle cramps could be caused by metabolic and ionic imbalances like low calcium, sodium, low magnesium and deficiency in some vitamins.
I will suggest advise you try the following:
-Take calcium/vit D supplements
-Eat healthy and balance and add a bit of salt to your diet
-Eat enough vegetables
-Remain hydrated
You will also have to get your BP checked always
Hope this will help
Best wishes
