Feet cramp at night, does it matter

Cramping is a sudden, involuntary tonic contraction of muscles, which causes muscle stiffness and pain. Foot cramps are the most common experience for the average person.

Studies have reported that one in seven people over the age of 45 have experienced a cramp in their feet. And up to half of the elderly over 65 years old have experienced uncomfortable foot cramps. In particular, there are more women than men.

Most foot cramps occur at night, but patients with peripheral vascular disease and arthritis are more likely to have foot cramps. Seven percent of adolescents have had foot cramps in the past year, with the 16 to 18 age group being the most likely to occur.

The main causes of foot cramps are:

1.Poor local circulation, peripheral vascular lesions, or varicose veins of the feet.

2.Sudden changes in ambient temperature.

3.Emotional overtension.

4.Insufficient levels of minerals (e.g., magnesium, calcium) in the diet.

5.Certain chronic diseases, pregnant women also have an increased incidence of cramps.

6.Certain drugs to lower blood pressure and blood lipids may also cause cramps in the feet.

7.Motor neuron disease, spinal radiculopathy or peripheral neuropathy.

8.Unknown reasons.

How to reduce the chances of foot cramps:

1.Pay attention to calcium supplementation: During puberty, calcium will be relatively deficient, which is more likely to cause cramps.

2.If you are prone to cramps when you sleep at night, stretch on the cramp-prone area before going to bed.

3.Keep your calves warm when you sleep. You can wear more clothes to keep your hands and feet warm.

4.Excessive sagging of the foot plate (toward the sole of the foot) may induce cramps in the lower legs. Avoid letting the foot plate hang too much when sleeping.

5.There have been reports in the literature that vitamin E can reduce the number of attacks, but it is not conclusive.

When the calf is cramping, you can straighten and rub the spasmodic calf muscles, and pull the foot plate that is cramping downward. And pay attention to the warmth of the calf muscles after the cramp.

In folklore**, it is recommended to use your fingers to press the acupuncture points in the person, and you can also try it.

Hello friend, I, like you, used to have cramps in my sleep.

Normally, I can't find out by myself, but my wife told me the next day.

But when it's severe, I can feel it, because sometimes when the cramps are severe, I will wake myself up.

But I was reluctant to go to the doctor before, and I thought it was no big deal.

Later, he was escorted to the hospital by his wife, and the doctor said that he was deficient in calcium. I'm still young, so there's no big problem, but when I'm older in the future, I'll get into trouble, and all kinds of bone diseases will follow.

Therefore, cramps are generally a symptom of calcium deficiency and bone disease. You should see a doctor in a timely manner.

The doctor prescribed me some medicine. I usually go to the pharmacy to buy some calcium-supplementing health products, and I have insisted on it for more than half a year, and now I am basically better. I usually take "** calcium tablets", in order to avoid suspicion of advertising, I will not list the name of the product.
