I had a HA Feb, I am normal weight ,exercise regularly and don't drink much, but have family history of heart disease. The angio was ok , no stents, but waiting for an mri which might be several months, my BP was high so on 6.25 rampril and 1.25 bispol, but having really bad leg cramps, does anyone else have this as DR said it would settle and I am taking magnesium but still have stabbing pains especially after exercise

hi. I started to have leg cramps when I was on holiday when it was very hot. I was told that dehydration was the cause. Maybe if it’s occurring after excercise it might be related to a bit of dehydration. Just a suggestion.
