A cramp is a sudden, involuntary, often painful contraction of a muscle. This happens to everyone from time to time.
Cramps can be caused by stress
Stress can cause blood vessels to constrict and reduce blood supply to muscles, leading to cramps.
In addition, seizures can be caused by certain chronic diseases. Diabetes, nervous system disease, or kidney failure may be associated with an increased risk of seizures.
They also appear in cases of blood diseases such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, and in cases of disruption of the cardiovascular system, for example, congenital heart defects, collapse.
Cramps may be caused by vitamin deficiency
If the body does not receive enough calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, the water-salt balance and the interaction of positive and negative particles are disrupted.
Uncontrollable reactions occur that cause the muscles to contract. Spasms are often felt in the calves, thighs, feet, and hands.
May be caused by diarrhea, prolonged sun exposure, infection, or drinking too much coffee or tea. Lack of water in tissues leads to painful contractions.
In rare cases, they last for 30 minutes or longer or occur within minutes of each other, a condition called status epilepticus.
