Very common Very com: in your age group. Not commonly associated with electrolyte abnormalities. Also can be very painful. A guaranteed method of controlling is to drink 10-12oz of quinine water (tonic water) a few hours before bedtime. This stabilizes the cell membrane inhibiting depolariazation of the muscle cell.
