Question:
Why do I get muscle cramps regularly?
There are certain days when I get alot of painful muscle pulls on my calf and feet. My feet usually happens when i walk alot, and then my feet begins to tighten. When this happens, there are like spasms..one after the other and then suddenly they go away. The same happens to my hand too, but very rarely. Have been told it's lack of water/salt. Is that true?
Answers:
I've had that a few times and heard it's lack of salt. The best thing would be to consult your doctor as you've been told two conflicting things. Consuming too much water isn't good for you as it dilutes the existing salts in your body and too much salt is bad for the heart!
Best to get a medical opinion as this must be very uncomfortable for you.
