Are you on: Any cholesterol lowering meds? That could cause this. I would also check potassium levels and magnesium deficiency. (need to check magnesium levels in the red blood cells.), there are other causes but i'd check these.

What kind of test?: The results may help diagnose the underlying problem. If there is no abnormalities, PT, stretching, a different exercise regimen may help
