What Causes Cramps In The Calves And Swelling In The Feet And Ankles?

i am a 38 year old male, 6 2 203lbs, pretty active but nothing that is over exerting, i was woken up sunday morning by both my calves cramping, the cramps lasted for about a minute maybe a little longer, but now both my ankles and feet are swollen, ive had a ton of cramps in my calves throughout my life,but never both at the same time,never for that long,and none of them were ever followed by swelling. i must admit im concerned, actually thats an understatment, i am stressed about his, there is no pain in my feet or ankle, but my calves and both achilles and hamstrings are very very swore. am i doomed? should i write my will out like right now?

You need to do warm up before exercise. Apply hot packs. Drink 1 to 2 litres of water daily. Drink Electrolyte rich fluids during exercise like Gatorade. Do regular muscle stretching.
