Question
What to Do When Multiple Body Parts Frequently Cramp?
Answer
There can be many reasons for cramps, including poor regional circulation and nutrient deficiency. Patients may start experiencing cramps after the improvement of hyperthyroid symptoms, but doctors say it is not related to hyperthyroidism. Possible causes include poor regional circulation, peripheral vascular inflammation, varicose veins in the feet, sudden changes in environmental temperature, excessive emotional tension, and insufficient mineral content (such as magnesium and calcium) in the diet. It is recommended to exercise the areas prone to cramps before bedtime and to keep the calves warm during sleep by wearing warm clothing to maintain warmth in the hands and feet. We hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and wish you good health.
