Most of the time, the cause of leg cramps cannot be identified. Cramps likely occur more fre- quently, and with more intensity, when a person is dehydrated or there is a shift in the balance of minerals or electrolytes in the muscles (low potassium, sodium, calcium, or mag- nesium). People with flat feet or ill- fitting shoes will often have foot cramps at night. Patients who take diuretics for blood pressure, congestive heart fail- ure, or edema may experience night- time cramps. Statins, a group of drugs used to treat high cholesterol, cause muscle cramps in some pa- tients. The blood sugar changes as- sociated with diabetes mellitus can also worsen leg cramps.
