Muscle spasms causes When you make a sudden movement or when your muscles contract suddenly, that is when you experience sudden pain and a feeling of your muscles being bunched up or knotted hard. There are a variety of reasons for muscle spasms. While a variety of deficiencies do cause muscle spasms, you should also be aware that very often long periods of inactivity result in muscle spasms.
If you have just been through a period when you have done nothing, a sudden surge or activity can cause a muscle to have a spasm. You should first visit your doctor who can help you identify the actual reasons for these spasms.
In most cases though, the muscles experience a spasm when the body has a deficiency of calcium.
Deficiency of potassium can also, in some cases, cause muscle spasms. You can help prevent these spasms by ensuring that your food contains plenty of these vitamins. Doctors have found that controlling the intake of folic acid also helps prevent the occurrence of muscle spasms. You can try cutting down on tomatoes and vinegar if you have frequent muscle spasms. You should drink plenty of milk and eat cheese and yoghurt if you want to overcome a calcium deficiency. For a potassium deficiency it is advisable to eat food that contains a high amount of potassium.
