Answers:
Cramps are usually related to electrolyte's imbalance and dehydration!. By drinking a lot of water and making sure you have a good level of potassium and sodium you should see an improvement!.

A muscle cramp occurs when your muscle tightens and therefore shortens, causing sudden and severe pain!. A common site for people to get cramps is in their calf muscles, however, you can just about get cramps in any muscle of the body!.
Although there are several theories about what causes cramps, they generally result from overexertion and dehydration!. Low blood sugar levels and extreme cold and heat can also cause cramping!.
When you are dehydrated, there can be an electrolyte imbalance in the muscle cells that causes your muscles to spasm!. Electrolytes help the body's cells to function properly!. The main electrolytes affecting muscle cramping are potassium, sodium and calcium!. An imbalance occurs when we have too much or too little of one or more electrolytes in our system, often caused by fluid imbalances!.
Cramps may also occur after inactivity, such as sitting too long in one place without moving a muscle, or even when you're just lying in bed!. These cramps are not related to activity, but can be treated the same way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
