General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms seem to be related to stress, electrolyte imbalance etc. I suggest an examination of the electrolytes to confirm the cause. As per treatment I suggest supplement of magnesium daily because magnesium deficiency is the common cause of muscle spasms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
