What could muscle spasms for a few months, most common in my upper arms and calves mean? they last around 10-20 minutes and are uncommon.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifestyle: Make sure you are getting 8-9 hours of sleep every night, eating a healthy diet of fruit, vegetables, lean meats, and 8-10 glasses of water a day. Stay away from carbonated drinks and alcohol. After two weeks if the muscle spasms are still occurring seek the help of a physician.
