KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 16, 2016 @@Jesm1029 Sounds like a potassium deficiency. Try and add potassium rich foods into your diet. You may need to get an RX if continues. Talk to your Dr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted August 16, 2016 As the others have said, you may need more potassium and/or magnesium either from food or supplements. Dehydration is another possible cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4MRB4PHOTO 3,900 Posted August 16, 2016 It could be a few different reasons. A few examples are dehydration, low magnesium or low potassium. Talk to your doctor before you take potassium supplements just in case they are concerned of a kidney issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
