How can I cure night cramp, or cramp whilst asleep ?

Answer 1

Eat bananas before going to bed. They increse potassium and this helps relieve muscle cramping. It works for me...

Answer 2

Maybe you should eat more bananas, so you get some potassium. I get those cramps at night and I always heard that the more potassium you intake the less cramps you will have.

Answer 3

I've been taking Quinine Sulfate capsules (prescription) for this. It's very effective. If this isn't feasible, you can drink tonic water each night but I can't stand the bitter taste. Be sure you get enough potassium and calcium in your diet. These sure can be painful!!

Answer 4

You could be lacking in magnesium, calcium, potassium, salt or iron. You need to find out what your deficiency is. You can try to take those supplements on your own or go get a blood test.

Answer 5

I would suggest you do some stretching exercises before going to bed. Slowly stretch whatever muscle it is before you go to bed so it can relax before you get to sleep. Other than that I would suggest speaking with your doctor and maybe they can give you a prescription for a muscle relaxer. Best of luck!

Cramps are caused by a mineral dificiency.

A glass before bed will stop them overnight. there are also minerals available.......Calm.com is one. Mix it with hot water
