Muscle cramps

Post by rosedec21 » Tue Apr 04, 2006 7:34 pm

Has anyone started getting muscle cramps after starting the c-pap ? Ever since I started , I have been getting cramps in the calves , the outside of my legs , the back of my thighs and even in the ribcage area ! It's horrible and a couple of friends of mine have been getting cramps to , but not as bad as mine.

Speak to your MD, some things are better diagnosed by doctors in person.

I agree - check with your doctor - have you had your ferritin checked?
