My arms and hands go very numb while sleeping, reading and driving. I am taking Atacand and labetolol for high blood pressure. Pressure under control 130/70.I also get some weird cramping when exercising, twisting to back up or even stretching when waking. This morning I missed my pills and I don t have numbness today. What is happening? I began potassium and magnesium about 2 months ago but although less pronounced I still have the numbness and scary cramping. What should I ask my doctor to do? We stopped statin last year because of frozen muscles. Now what?Where is the FREE advertised question ?
