Hello,
Muscle cramps may be due to lactic acidosis, neuropathy pain or electrolyte imbalance etc.. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is.
Use tablet. Ubinext LC twice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved, get done a complete blood picture, ECG, chest X-ray, serum electrolytes and thyroid profile, then get it treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
