What Is The Cause Of Cramps In Legs And Dry Heaving After Blood Work?

I had blood work done yesterday and they took about 3 and a half vials of blood. I've also been on my period for over a month and am still on it currently. Immediately after the blood work I started dry heaving and felt like I had the flu. About an hour later my legs started cramping really bad and they still hurt more then 24 hours later. I have been drinking a ton of water, trying to stretch, and icing my legs. I cant put any pressure on my heels and its killing me to walk around but I've been trying everything. Just wondering why I can barely walk right now?

hello,
the cause for your above symptoms is is your heavy bleeding.
since u r bleeding for soo long there is probability that your hb levels could have gone down. so kindly check ur hb levels.
muscle cramps could be due dehydration of your body cells so i advice you to have plenty of water and donot exercise or strecth which will worsen it.
take some muscle relaxant and lets follow up with the reports
