You need to be tested for quite a few other conditions to determine the exact cause of your problem, among the things that need to be considered are
  • Hypothyroidism,
  • Magnesium levels and calcium levels (both are necessary)
  • Kidney disease
  • any medicines that you may be using...
  • rarely muscle disease and neurological disease can present with these symptoms too, hence I would recommend a physicain opinion and maybe a neurological evaluation
In the meantime you would need to take plenty of liquids esepcialy potassium rich & magnesium rich foods will be helpful
