Mineral deficiency?: Deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, or potassium are common causes of body cramps. These deficiencies can be due to use of medications, like diuretics or losses due to diarrhea, poor absorption of food, or poor nutrition. Less commonly a more serious condition like parathyoid gland problems may be the cause.

Odd symptoms: An odd set of symptoms which could be brought about by some medications, or dehydration - or a stroke, although you are young for that. You need to see a physician to be properly evaluated. Good luck.
