1.What’s a Cramp?
If you’ve ever had a “charley horse” — that odd pain in your calf — you’ve had a cramp. But they can happen anywhere in your body at any time, even when you’re asleep. No matter where you get them, what’s going on inside is the same: Your muscles suddenly tighten up when you don’t want them to. Several things can bring on cramps, but you can do some things to keep them from happening.
2.Possible Cause: Not Enough Water
When’s the last time you had a glass of water? Cramps may be your body’s way of telling you that you need some — you’re dehydrated. Other signs include dizziness, headache, and constipation. So keep water with you and sip it throughout the day, especially if you’re outside in hot weather.
