[ Symptoms ] what problems could develop with a dental crown [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this few things are as painful as leg cramps two common causes of lower leg cramps are dehydration and low potassium levels in the blood so your first potential solution is to simply drink more water if you have high blood pressure you should consult your physician before you substantially increase your water intake but in general drinking a few extra glasses of water a day is not going to hurt you if you have high blood pressure and take a water pill diuretic you should find out if it is a potassium sparing type of not if your diuretic is not potassium sparing you should be taking a prescription potassium pill again if you are uncertain about these things you should consult your doctor i do not recommend people run out and start taking potassium supplements which you can buy over the counter to cure leg cramps potassium is a key mineral for heart function and overdosing on potassium can cause serious heart rhythm abnormalities however eating potassium rich foods like sweet potatoes tomato sauce and whole beans like navy beans or pinto beans not only will increase your serum blood potassium levels to possibly help the leg cramps but they will be diet friendly for your diabetes everything i have told you here is based on the assumption you do not have a lot of other health issues besides the diabetes going on and that you do not take a lot of medications many medications and co existing medical conditions can cause lower leg cramps so it is always a good idea to let your medical professional know what is going on wishing you well |

[ Symptoms ] i have asthma and was recently diagnosed can cold weather and walking in it trigger asthma it happened to me [ Disease ] this is a very common problem in women and when you have a diagnosis it is a relief in some ways because now we can direct treatment for it so what i like the most for polycystic ovary syndrome is all contraceptives and sometimes combined with a diuretic called aldactone and the generic name is spironolactone i find that these two together not only help balance out the hormones but also help regrow the hair oftentimes in polycystic ovary syndrome we see a triad of changes we see irregular periods along with often severe acne and hair loss on the scalp and there is also another component which may be increased hair growth on the upper lip or chin as well sometimes people have regular periods and so the diagnosis is missed because the endocrinologist or ob thinks that it can not be polycystic ovary syndrome because it can not measure the hormone imbalance but when you have those other effects of hair loss on the scalp acne hair growth on the face and sometimes with or without weight change going on oral contraceptives can help and adding aldactone or spironolactone can help as well it is very important to treat it because women who have this syndrome are at increased risk of diabetes and also heart disease later in life so it is not just an esthetic or how you look that matters it is your overall health that can be affected so you should definitely have it treated |
