Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes thank you! My cousin has very bad leg cramps, is overweight, and drinks about 21/2 gallons of H2O/day if not more. He is not a smoker but his wife is a chain smoker. Besides MG should he be doing something else to relieve his pain and discomfort?
Hello, He is drinking too much water and washing out his electrolytes. He needs to drink no more than 4 liters of water daily and start taking a multivitamin/multimineral daily. Stretching can also help Regards
