Default Leg cramps ... potassium, calcium, magnesium

Leg cramps
Hi Doreen:
Sorry to bother you but my other half Bruce is eating the way I do except can't get him to drink very much water. He does have a little more carb than I as he doesn't need to lose weight.
He gets cramps similiar to charlie horse in his calf and travels up to his thigh. During the night he had one so bad and lasted quite awhile that he broke into a cold sweat and said he felt like passing out. We think also he is starting to retain water again and has had this problem since his double bypass a yr. and 3 months ago. Doctor had him on water pills but didn't seem to agree with him. Can you recommend a good herbal type. Just realized you recommended Calcium Magnesium to some else. Why this and how does it help the cramps and why would he get it so bad now? Is he missing anything in his diet? Mind you I take this for osteo and also glucosamine Sulfate. By the way how many mg. of calcium magnesium should be taken a day.
I will be very appreciative for your input.

Take care
Liz (Lizzy)
