[|Human|] i have been having cramps at night for the past 3 years. i had blood work yesterday by my doctor to see if i needed potassium, magnesium etc. the report came out perfect except for a L 7.2 Mean Platelet Volume. the regular amount is 7.3-10.5. could this be the reason i am getting these cramps? They do not let me sleep. i have to get up at least 5 times every night. i do take 20mg furosemide everyday with 10 mg Klor Con Potassium. could it be the daily water pill also? i dont know what to do. the doctors dont know what is going on. do you have an idea?
[|AI|]  Hi, your symptoms suggest either electrolyte depletion or restless leg syn Chat Doctor.  Low platelet vol has got nothing to do with your symptoms. You might also need to know about sodium (which you are loosing because of furosemide), potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphate along with serum ferritin workup. You may take vitamin E and levocarnitine tablets for a while and see the response. Hope this helps.
