I had a thermoregulatory sweat test done today and 28 minutes into the test my legs started to uncontrollably spasm and continued to do so until they took me out- can someone please tell me what caused my legs to do that?

: Do not know which test you had. But if the applied electricity may have been a problem. Discuss with your Drs. Low blood potassium can also cause that. Especially if you hyperventilate.
