Yes, probably.
More detail:
Sometimes leg cramps are caused by a lack of potassium. If you are taking a diuretic (fluid pill), this can deplete the body of potassium. Try foods that are high in potassium, which should help with the leg cramps. Bananas and Orange Juice are both high in potassium.
Dehydration can also cause leg cramps, so be sure to drink plenty of fluids - any kind of fluids except alcohol and caffeine, which act as a diuretic, and cause even further fluid loss.
