Are you taking any new medications? Diuretics (water pills) can cause these cramps.
It can be caused by a lack of magnesium, or a potassium deficiency. But beware – it can also signal the onset of vascular disease, so if you find that you are cramping more than usual, please check this out with your doctor.
