Hi, I ve been experiencing exscruciating night time leg cramps/spasms for months. I have been taking 400 milligrams of magnesium and vit B. I had some relief but the cramps returned. I increased the magnesium to 600 mgs daily. Still no improvement. Now experiencing spasams in my tongue/throat and sharp crushing pain in my chest. What action should I take?
Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and first stop the magnesium you are taking unless it cause further damage, There are various reasons for these cramps and first is to find out the cause you have, Deficiency of calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, Potassium, and essential vitamins can all cause cramps, moreover thyroid kidney and arterial diseases can also cause it. So please see a physician and get yourself evaluated, no empirical treatment should be taken without guidance as this could be harmful. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.
