Thanks for your replies, Zilsniggy.
I should have blood tests in order to check electrolytes. I intend to do it (maybe I'll wait a little just to see if COVID situation is somewhat controlled where I live). I've been thinking about that, yes, and certainly at least magnesium had to do with my cramps, once as I raised my Mg intake things got better. But there may be other things with the wrong levels. I've noticed since about a month ago two episodes of swollen feet, both were gone after a fews days. Never had them before. I understand that, among many other causes, dehydration and unbalanced electrolytes could be behind it.


Try checking albumin as well. Low albumin can lead to swelling, too. But if you are sedentary at work, it was a hot day, etc etc, these things can also be a cause.
