I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but... after trying beta blockers and calcium blockers which just made my slow heart rate slower, the cardiologist advised me to take a potassium pill every day and I have been for more than a year now. Sometimes I just get tired of taking pills, mainly vitamins, so about a month ago I started slacking off and the last couple of weeks my feet have felt like solid bricks of pain. Could barely walk a lot of the time and was awake half the night from throbbing pain.
I had started taking the potassium again a couple of days ago and the feet felt not perfect, but noticeably better. Mentioned this to the doctor this morning. He did check their circulation which was good but he did say it was most likely from slacking off on the potassium pills. That it was rare for both feet to hurt so much at the same time.
So, if anyone is having unusual muscle pain ask your doctor if you should be taking potassium if you aren't already. It did completely resolve the heart palpitations a year ago too. But do check any and all health conditions with your physician.
