What do constant muscle cramps mean, do I have any chemical imbalances/deficiencies?
Thanks in advance.

Dehydration and/or a potassium deficiency. Eat bananas and drink lots of water and see how that does.

Actually yes, you might have a zinc deficiency. Or dehydrated , or your muscles could be overworked and trying to get back in shape. These are the most common reason for cramps. However if if is serious , you might want to see a Doctor. Send me an email if you have other questions

Low in Potassium, eat a banana a day for awhile until you start feeling better and also drink lots of water. Dehydration can cause cramps too.

When I started getting muscle cramps, I found that taking potassium helped quite a bit..

Dehydration maybe one factor. After using your muscles, you build up lactic acid. After a workout, you need to cool down to help dissipate the lactic acid. Bananas help replace the potaasium you have lost. Drink plenty of water. Sports drinks also help but don't over-do it.

Could be lack of water, do you drink about 8 glasses per day? Are you drinking too much caffeine?
It could be a deficiency too, though I cannot remember which one, sorry.

Cramps can be caused by cold or overexertion, or a lack or something in your diet.
