    I get leg cramps at night with extremely low levels of exercise! Magnesium supplements help, but haven't dared supplement potassium. I do use a lo-salt potassium/sodium mix, but I don't use it a whole lot because, as @zoom2 says, feel like my food is salty enough for me!

    I do however often wake up around 4 or 5 am sweaty and palpitations. I really don't think it's blood sugar problems which I used to think it was and now I am stumped what is causing it. I was wondering it is was early menopause (I'm 41) but it doesn't happen any other time. Some other deficiency?

    I'm 43, following LC, and was just in the ER in November for palpitations. They couldn't figure out why, no heart attack, stoke, not my diet....but they went away. I was overdosing myself on magnesium. When I stopped taking that supplement, the palpitations stopped. You might try that. :)


    Oh thanks for the feedback. I got the palpitations before I started keto as well. Plus I only take half the magnesium dose. If I don't take the mag I get cramps... sorry to hear you had to go to the ER though!
