My husband had terrible cramps during the night. We put a heating pad for relief. His diruetics have been increased due to pleural effusion, so I suspect that had something to do with the cause. His fluid intake has been limited to 200 ml daily. Does anyone have suggestions?

@twocatmama I know that diuretics can cause cramps due to dehydration. Have you spoken to his doctor about this? They may have some suggestions.
Are his cramps in his body or in his legs? I had excruciating cramps in my thighs some nights. Fortunately, they were not frequent but when I had them they were unbearable. After a while I was able to tolerate them because I knew they would get better in about 15 minutes or so, so I just held on. I also had cramps in my hands. They were more frequent but not as bad.
