What Causes Nighttime Spasms In The Flexor Tendons Of The Feet?

Brief Answer:
Oralyte can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Muscle cramps at night most of the time occur for no known reason, and they're harmless.
Sometimes, it can be due to dehydration, muscle fatigue or electrolyte abnormalities. It is better to drink sufficient fluid and also see that your intake of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium ) is sufficient. You can drink Oralyte for this.
You can also get a proper blood test done to find the exact cause.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
