Sometimes this happens by chance without explanation. But if it persists you need to be examined by a doc for without that no diag. can be made

If you are experiencing an electrolyte imbalance, you can try sports drinks daily to see if this helps your cramping. There are other electrolytes, besides magnesium that are just as important.
