What Causes Severe Cough At Night And Cramps In The Thigh?
I have been having a severe night cough for a week. I noticed my right thigh is has been cramped and my foot as well for the past 5 hours. I went to bed and then got up and took some benlyn cough syrup as my night cough is getting worse. Within a few minutes of taking cough syrup I started having chest pain (middle right chest /breast area) every 3 Rd or 4 th breathe, then got hiccups for a few minutes, now feeling extreme naueau. The leg cramping was strange and acute, chest pain started immediately after taking benlyn. I m debating going to emergency room. Cough and waves of naueau have been going on intensely for 7days. Mostly night cough laying down and sitting. I m exhausted and need to sleep its relentless and leg cramp and chest pain coming on so intense and quickly scaring me esp as there is a lot of stroke and heart disease in my family.

Hi,
Auscultation of chest is required. It is not related to stroke so need not be worried. You can consult a cardiologist for a check up and rule out cardiac involvement. Leg cramps and foot are neurological problem. You may consult a neurologist for examination and advice on the investigation. You are having anxiety neurosis. For cramps may examine the nervous system and electrolyte balancing should b done if there is any imbalance. It should be corrected. Blood analysis should be done and eosinophilia or any other related problem is found should be treated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
