General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to low vitamin d3 and calcium. Taking supplements of calcium and vitamin d3 will be helpful. If possible check your blood levels of vitamin d and b12. Taking bananas and dates will be helpful to get enough electrolytes like potassium also.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
