is the leg cramps due to taking blood pressure pills?

Leg cramps, are largely due to Potassium imbalance, not lactic acerbic. So eat a few bannanns, your blood pressure medication may act through your kidneys dumping potassium or more predictable sodium, water will follow cause a decreased blood volume, and thus decrease blood pressure. So your medication may be causing this, my proposal would be to try and substitute potassium for sodium to some extent in your diet.
no, leg cramps mostly occur when your body does not achieve enough oxygen to hold aerobic respiration(ie., burning food n gaining drive though a reaction involving). when the body does not gain enough oxygen, it respires anaerobically wherein lactic bitter produced in your body get you leg cramps
Actually, a side effect of BP meds and cholesterol medications is leg cramps. You entail to notify your Doctor. Also, keep drinking lots of river! It could just be dehydration or need of Potassium.
