A member asked:
I'm having big muscle spasms and possibly seizures early in the morning when i wake up, what is wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasm: I don't believe you have seizure, seizure is abnormal excessive brain activity which leads to jerky movement of upper and lower extremities with temporary loss of consciousness, losing bladder and bowel control. You probably have muscle cramp, check your electrolytes, make sure to exercise, you always could drink 8 ounces of tonic water with quinine to help with cramping, see a doctor
