Electrolyte disturbances, Stress, sleep deprivation
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
Cramps are usually due to Electrolyte disturbances, dehydration, excessive caffeine, sleep deprivation etc.
I would suggest you get a full workout of your Serum Electrolytes, calcium, Vitamin D3, Kidney function tests, Thyroid function tests.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink 6 glasses of water daily. Take Tablet L Carnitine 500mg once a day for a month. Take Tablet Neurobion forte twice a day for a month. Avoid caffeine intake smoking, alcohol.
Do follow up with me with the reports.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
