Leg cramps at night, what to do with leg cramps at night

Me too, having cramps the night before. The reason for this is probably that I suddenly stretched my foot hard. It's good that I don't dare to move anymore.

Saying all this is not the answer, but I would say that the reason for sleeping cramps may be that the muscles are completely relaxed during deep sleep, and it's normal to have sudden and hard cramps, just like we don't warm up before exercising. And then there's what you call calcium deficiency. I've heard adults say that, too.

This can happen in people who are in the growth phase. I had a very serious time in junior high school, and I suddenly moved and had cramps, and the pain was so painful that I screamed... Now it's high school in our city, and I occasionally have cramps, and I'd rather be deficient in calcium because adults say it will rise at that time, hehe...

As for epilepsy, I think if you're afraid, you can find out about its symptoms. As long as it's not too frequent cramps I think about every relationship. Remember not to move when cramping, keep rubbing at the cramps...

I'm not a professional, but I hope these are useful to you.

80% of people have leg cramps because of calcium deficiency.

Mainly teenagers, the elderly, pregnant women.

There is no direct link between leg cramps and epilepsy.

It is recommended to supplement calcium tablets, and Leli in the United States is the most effective.

If it doesn't get rid of it, see your doctor again.

No, take calcium. I've been there, too! Later, calcium supplementation was good, and hereditary epilepsy was not leg cramps, it was general spasms.

Calcium deficiency I am also much better after eating calcium tablets I have nothing to do and go out in the sun more and eat calcium after meals.

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. 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 change in ambient temperature.

3) Emotional overtension. (4) Excessive loss of water and salt, resulting in electrolyte imbalance in the body. (5) The amount of minerals (such as magnesium and calcium) in the diet is insufficient.

6) The incidence of cramps in certain chronic diseases and pregnant women will also increase. (7) Low thyroid, uremia or other physical diseases. (8) Motor neuron disease, spinal radiculopathy or peripheral neuropathy.

9) Certain drugs to lower blood pressure and blood lipids may also cause foot cramps. (10) Unknown reasons. How to reduce the chances of foot cramps:

1) Pay attention to calcium supplementation: In the stage of puberty, calcium will be relatively lacking, which is more likely to cause cramps. (2) If you are prone to cramps when sleeping at night, stretch on the cramp-prone area before going to bed.

3) Keep your calves warm when sleeping. You can wear more clothes to keep your hands and feet warm. (4) Excessive sagging of the foot plate (drooping towards the soles of the feet) may induce cramps in the lower legs.

Avoid letting the foot plate hang too much when sleeping. (5) It has been reported in the literature that vitamin E can reduce the number of attacks, but it is still inconclusive. 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 when the cramps are excessive. In folklore**, it is recommended to use your fingers to press the acupuncture points in the person, and you can also try it. Although the cramps in my feet hurt so much that I woke up in the middle of the night, the only thing I could be thankful about was that it would not be life-threatening.
