Brief Answer:
Most probably side effect of Klor-Con.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

First there is need for a clarification, by Klor you mean Klor-Con (potassium chloride)?

If yes, then side effects of its use include
tinngling, prickling, burning, tight, or pulling sensation of hands, legs, or feet.

There is need to discuss with your treating Doctor about stopping Klor, and substitute if necessary with other preparats.

Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.

Take care.
