Cramp + other random things

I have never had cramp in my life (i thort i had but now i realise that i had bad pins and needles or something) but every day this week i have woken up with cramp in either one or both calves. Im sure it cant be a good sign but im not sure wether its something worth seing a doctor about.
I was in a new place on a training course and iv worn high heels every day, but there the only two things that i can think of that are any different to usual.
Thinking about it 8 days ago i could also have possibly had it, i stood to walk across the room and had the worst pain i have ever felt in my pelvic area. aparently i just passed out from the pain and the next thing i knew i woke up on the couch 40 seconds or so later not in any pain at all.
I dont know if its relavent or not but i could also have been 9 weeks pregnant until thursday. I hadnt been on for 9 weeks but had managed to kind of block it out of my mind and not think about it. I came on on thursday and shall we say that erm things dont look like they usually do. But i think that thats just a head fuck more than anything to do with the cramps
so sorry that that was a bit of a mish mash of info but i could do with getting anything that needs sorting sorted as i am leaving the country for 1 year in about 3 weeks. Any ideas about what it could be would be great. Im going to register with a doctor next week anyway so il mention things then
cheers if you read this far

I found out why in the end & it was because I was dehydrated. So I would recommend drinking at least 2ltrs of water a day, whilst also watching your salt intake.
I would usually say supplement with potassium to insure extra hydration, but if you think you are pregnant I would consult your DR before hand to make sure its OK to.
Good luck.
eating healthy should correct it. tho' if you're loosing consciousness because the pain is so bad - you need to see a doctor asap.
