Too much water?: It is possible that you are drinking too much water. If you do that you could dilute the electrolytes that your muscles need. Make sure that your urine is a pale yellow not clear. The next thing to try is a potassium and magnesium supplement. If you still have problems you should see a doctor for testing.
