Cramps in legs symptoms and conditions

I am a male 55. Started taking Altace 15 years ago. BP kept creeping up. I work outside for a living. Sometimes work is very hard, climbing mountains, carrying land surveying equipment ect. Dr started me on lisinopril 40 mg, dropped altace which I had been taking with HCT 25mg. Started getting numbness in left hand and charley horse in elbow after playing mandolin for 10 minutes. I thought this strange. Now I have muscle cramps in legs and I am wiped out when I get home. (thought must be getting old) Then other joints, shoulders, and knees stared hurting and lower back. Started thinking what has happen to me?! I am completely falling apart! That's how I found this web site. Now I wonder, snake venom sounds about right. I had started thinking I had been poisoned. Guess I'll make a DR appointment or move to an "old folks home". At least I won't have a stroke.......right?

I started Eltroxin/Levothyroxin a month ago. I was warned about side effects to my eyes which started watering and stinging then my nose started to drip. Suddenly I crashed into depression and am having trouble stabilizing this so everyday I feel unwell. I am also having hot flushing at 68years of age! I haven't the energy to do much.

Have found that the brand Goldshield made in Britian has few side effects so will be paying for these rather than be miserable all the time

I have been on lisinopril on and off for over 2years or better.I started with 20 mg.then i cut that down to 10 mg. then to 5 mg, still feel bad,that includes 6 mg.hctz.many side effects,muscle weakness,neck pain,cramps in legs mainly,and just feeling like your about half sick all the time, have to force myself to move because of feeling tired and aching all over, if i work in my garden i have to sit and rest every 5 minutes because the muscles in my back start hurting and get weak,blurred vision, itching ,bad dreams,irritable( my poor wife) etc. Also take metoprolol 150mg. per day and have for a lot of years which also has side effects.Tried taking hypavera which is a natural herb mix after 2 days bp went up to 204/94 so stopped that fast so be careful on mixing certain vitamins and herbs with prescription drugs.

Anybody concerned about their pill symptoms, look up CANDIDA. It is related to so many symptoms and my latest thoughts are, The pill causes candida and candida causes the symptoms. This means your body may not go back in check after stopping the pill.

I have had
Mood "problems" we'll call them,
headaches mostly as a soreness in my temples,
Dizziness,
Sore feet,
Random cramps in legs,
Flu like aches and pains,
Chemical sensitivity,
Fatigue,
Stomach problems
Decreasing ability to concentrate,
Severe and sudden beer intolerance, meaning taking only 2 beers to get a wicked hangover,
Sudden noise and light sensitivity,

To keep it kinda short here, I just kept telling my doctors, I feel like I'm getting old. I'm 27! I think this pill gave me a great breeding ground for candida and candida did the rest. Look it up!

My son is 17years old and has been taking sigular for 5 years due to allergies and a minor asthma condition, I am also seeing many of the side effects. The major ones are explosive anger, easy frustrations, laziness/lack of motivation, leg pains and cramps in legs, and when he sleeps it is almost impossible to wake him up in the AM. He mumbles and says OK I will get up , then after 15-30 mins and he is still in bed and constant attention by me to wake him, he finally wakes up and says, why has no one tried to help get me up and he is very anger. He has raised in bed, screaming, and punched at me during these 15-30mins, to later say, NO way I didn't do that, I don't remember. He seems to be in a trance!. I have been struggling to figure this out for 2 years now,

I do agree that I saw an easy going kid turn into one filled with anger and frustrations for no real reasons.

I have been on Diovan for about two years now . The side effects are cramps in legs, restless, tired all the time, dizzness, weakness, sweating and the last thing I've been experiencing is low blood sugar. None of the doctors or endocrinologist can tell me why I have low blood sugar and when I ask can it be the Diovan, they said no but I have read otherwise. If anyone else has had symptoms such as these especially the low blood sugar please reply
Thank you

I was on Lisinopril 12.5 mg. for about 1 1/2 years for high blood pressure. I experienced dizziness, blurred vision, lack of concentration, scary felling with my heart, cramps in legs, gout. A couple of days ago I felt really bad, I went to the doctor who discovered that my blood pressure was too low. I told her it has been normal for a year. Why would the doctor keep me on Lisinopril? She lowered the dose to 10mg. I don't like using prescription drugs. What to do!

loss of balance, dizzy,peripheral neuropathy, and severe cramps in legs that wake me up. I have on;y been on Lipitor for 3 months.

Male age 50. Used Lipitor 20mg for 10 months, having previuosly taken Lescol and Zetia. I am suffering very serious side effects including: slurred speach, loss of muscle mass and strength in right arm and hand, sore right foot, muscle tremors, severe cramps in legs and abdomen. I stopped Liptor 6 weeks ago. Cramps have stopped but little improvement in other conditions.

I AM LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKING LOTREL. BAD COUGH CRAMPS IN LEGS RINGING IN EARS LOTS WORSE CAN'T QUIT TAKING HBP PILLS OR I GET TERRIBLE HEADACHES.

I started taking Advair about two years ago. The Doctors say I have COPD,and I was given Advair to help me breath. Since I started taking this drug I have developed cronic pain in my legs,arms and sholders, weaknes in my intire body, numbness in hands, cramps in legs,feet,hands and sometimes in upper body .I have a problem sleeping, nervousness,hoarseness. I have no quality of life any more. I loved gardening but cannot do any of that any more. Walking in my home is a chore now. I have told my Doctor but he seems not to believe me. Maybe we need to go to school to learn how to treat our illnesses. I hope some one will investigate this drug and its side effects. There has to be another drug to help open our air passage ways to help us breath. Peggy

Lightheaded; dizzy; heartrate increase; cramps in legs;

I have been taking Lipitor for 4 years. About 2 years ago most of these side effects started. muscle cramps in legs, muscle pain and weakness , fatigue, stiff neck, hip joint pain and knee joint pain and stiffness. Been off for 3 days and will never take it again.

The way that all of you are feeling is not in your head I promise. I was on Yasmin for several months. I had heart palpitations, numbness of the toes and cramps in legs. These are only a few of my symptoms. I have had two children and never even had post partum depression, but while on Yasmin I was short with my children and husband and even didnt want to be around my kids. I was depressed while on Yasmin, at least I thought I was, I even went as far as to call the Dr. and get medicine for depression, I stepped back and took a look at my symptoms and how they only occured since my Yasmin use. I decided not to take one pill for depression to make up for another pill (birth control) I stopped the Yasmin and within a couple of weeks felt better. I wasnt clinicaly depressed, I was Yasmin depressed, big difference. Me personally, I am thinking about stopping birth control pills all together and using other barrier methods, I dont like the thought of putting extra hormones on my body. To all the women who are feeling the awful side effects of Yasmin, I urge you to please step back and compare the before and after you while on Yasmin, it is the pill I promise, they need to discontinue this drug before someone has a stroke or worse.

weight gain, muscle cramps in legs and hands, large, colorless
welts on face with slight indentation in center. My dermatologist says that they will disappear when I am off the drug - have been on for about a year and a half for polymyalgia rheumatica - pain relief is worth the symptoms, but the facial welts concern me. I am only on 4 mg a day now and will hopefully be able to reduce by 1 mg a month until I'm off....last time when I got down to 3 mg my pmr symptoms returned- I have also developed small cataracts although I'm not certain they were caused by prednisone.

I've been on Lipitor for 4 yrs, 1st on 20mg daily. Cholesterol was lowered but gradual muscle discomfort in thighs. This sympton ignored by doctor. I lowered dose to 20mg every other day, had blood test, then told doc I lowered dose myself.He couldnt argue with the results, which were good. He suggested 10mg daily. Leg cramps intensified after mild exercise. 2 months ago I had a severe attack of cramps in legs and shoulders, appearance of arthritis in hands with some swelling. Difficulty in sitting or getting out of a chair or car. Painful to walk. Felt as is muscles were being stretched taught from bones. I discontinued Lipitor. Some relief noticed in 24 hrs. I have been taking 500mg of naproxin twice daily to get some relief.
