I am having leg cramps all the way into my toes. I am also having cramps in my ruq abdomen and lower abdomen area. They are related, because it all started friday 3 days ago. They are not constant, they are intermittent mostly at night or positional for my abdomen. Could it be low potassium? I have had low potassium before, but I have been eating bananas. Should I call my doctor for a blood test?
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. It is unlikely to have abdominal cramps due to low potassium. If I were your doctor, I would advise avoiding eating from outside if you do to prevent GI infections creeping in from most of these unhygienically prepared food items. I would also advise you to go for a roughage rich diet along with plenty of liquids as improper HY Chat Doctor.  However, in case the intensity and frequency of these increase, I would advise you to take appointment with an internist and get yourself clinically assessed along with any related investigations for a proper management. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
