Muscle Stiffness
Does anyone out there have problems with lower leg muscle stiffness due to their heart medicines? I can only walk about 15 minutes before I have to set down for a while. I work out every day but do not seem to increae my stamina.

Jamie,
Does your doctor have any suggestions to relieve the muscle stiffness? I have tried getting off Lipitor & Metformin but it did not help.
Thanks,
Bob

I sounds like you are having either a low potassium or magnesium problem. Have your doctor do a couple of blood tests and find. If either one is low, he can recommend a supplement for them, usually an OTC product.
