muscle cramps

Hi I have been suffering for some time now with my muscles cramping in my feet, legs, in my stomach and has also started now in my neck which feels like my throat is closing in like if you are wearing a polo neck and it is to tight. If anyone could help me it would be great it is a very painful condition and horrible when you feel like you choking.

I'm not sure if this will help, but I know that eating bananas helps with muscle cramps.  It has something to do with the potassium.  Maybe try stretching, hot baths or relaxation techniques.  Good luck!

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
I would suggest you get the blood levels of the following checked if they have not already been checked: potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, vitamin B complex, or vitamins B1, B3, or B6 and Vitamin D. Generally deficiencies of any of the above can cause muscle twitching and spasms in localized or generalized areas of the body. Get your kidney function, parathyroid gland function and adrenal function tests done because these affect the electrolyte balance in the body. Stress, alcohol, caffeine and fatigue all cause similar symptoms. Hence if you take alcohol or coffee then cut this down. Sleep at regular hours and see if it helps. Certain sleep disorders and peripheral nerve disorders due to diabetes or hypothyroidism can also be the cause.
A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
