Muscle Cramps In Legs, Tonic Water With Quinine, CAD Patient, 5 Stents, Fatigue, GI
I have severe muscle cramps in my legs mainly at night. Started drinking tonic water with Quinine, over the counter. the cramps have decreased, not altogether but about 80 %. I am a CAD patience and on Plavix and Cilostazol. I already have 5 stents in. I'm now having severe GI problem and fatigued..
could this be related to the Quinine, which I have been taking now over a year.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You really did the wrong thing, you are cardiac patient, the quinine exert its side effect on heart rhythm, beside developing Gastritis, now you have to go for EKG tracing to see the normal heart beat patrons, never do such silly mistake, have word with your cardiologist, have nice day.
