What Causes Chronic Muscle Cramps ?
yes please. I have been having muscle cramping every night . It begins in the right chest area then it goes to foot and calves. It keeps going for an extended time. I work as a cashier 5 hrs of standing. Could it be a lack of pottasium? E-mail is YYYY@YYYY

hi I understand your concern
I think your working directly related to your condition as long standing causing cramp in your leg muscles specially calf muscle
I don't think its related to low potassium level, except in sever deficiency when the level is 2.5–3 meq/l but associated with other cardinal symptoms like heart.
but I prefer to do serum vitamin D3 level some time vit. D deficiency will cause generalized muscle cramp and weakness.
