Better see doctor: We always say it is due to poor electrolytes but there could be other causes including problems with blood flow. Go get examined and tested and be treated appropriately for a problem found. Good luck.

Charlie Horse: First, finding out why you are having charlie horses is the next step. Is is a low calcium or potassium problem? A blood sugar problem? A circulation problem? Your physician is a good expert to start with.
