Thank you for contacting HCM. you have lost very significant amount of weight too quickly. this could be the main reason for your complaints.

vitamin and trace element deficiencies are very common after such rigorous weight loss. electorate imbalances can occur aswell. muscle cramps are common if you have potassium deficiency.

I would like to know your mode of weight loss
-- lost by just exercise
-- lost by following various diet programs
-- lost by surgery.
-- or combination of any of the above.

By providing the answer I can guess what should be the next steps.
I think you might have had surgical procedure for weight loss - this is my guess. if that is the case you need to have following tests
CBC
CMP
IRON
ZINC
VITAMIN D
VITAMIN B12
