A member asked:
Supposing you get a lot of foot cramps. is that a sign of a lack of potassium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cramps: Electrolytes cause cramps so try bananas, raisins, or orange juice. If mostly at night try tonic water at bedtime. Some blood pressure medicine and statins cause cramping.
