Hi,
Repeated muscle spasms are usually either related to abnormal function of the nerves or muscles in a particular area.
In many persons, it is a temporary problem but if it is recurring, you may need to be assessed.
Some of the possible causes include trauma, dehydration, a side effect of medication, electrolyte disorder etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
