sometimes i had the same problem while im on bed a real leg cramped and painful. regarding, out of balance many times while standing or walking i feel im swaying or as if i want to fall. could you give some reason what might be wrong with me or what kind of sickness i got...please dont say go to the doctor.. i want opinions from people around who might have same experience like mine. thanks a lot.....

Answer 1

Drink water and lots of it you probably started exercising didn't you ? Now as for your out of balance problem are you taking medication ? if yes YOU will need to see doctor since your taking too much for your body to handle now if your not you may have inner ear problem as a infection in that case you could lose your hearing if you dont seek attention ,but your cramps are from not being hydrated enough as I do get cramps all the time .

Answer 2

Do you eat bananas, or potatoes? If not, you could have low potassium levels. Eating these on a regular basis might help. Get it checked out if it doesn't get better, but i agree with the previous response as well, could be dehydration, or an inner ear infection.

Answer 3

Low potassium could very well be the culprit. Fortunately you can replace the missing electrolyte with potassium rich foods (i.e. bananas, orange juice, baked potatoes, etc.) You should notice a difference in a few short days.
