Leg cramps, are largely due to Potassium imbalance, not lactic acid. So eat a few bannanns, your blood pressure medicine may act through your kidneys dumping potassium or more likely sodium, water will follow causing a decreased blood volume, and thus decreased blood pressure. So your medication may be causing this, my advice would be to try and substitute potassium for sodium to some extent in your diet.

Actually, a side effect of BP meds and cholesterol medications is leg cramps. You need to notify your Doctor. Also, keep drinking lots of water! It could just be dehydration or lack of Potassium....

no, leg cramps generally occur when your body does not get enough oxygen to have aerobic respiration(ie., burning food n gaining energy though a reaction involving). when the body does not get enough oxygen, it respires anaerobically wherein lactic acid produced in your body gets you leg cramps
