Muscle cramps: Sometimes muscles cramps such as you describe are due to potassium or magnesium deficiency. Make certain you eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Taking a magnesium supplement in the form of 500mg of magnesium oxide daily may also help. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
