Diagnosis
Since the cause of the so-called paraphysiological muscle spasms is still not clarified, the diagnosis of the complaints is mainly limited to the exclusion of responsible underlying diseases, such as metabolic disorders or circulatory disorders. Frequently occurring or stressful cramps can, however, also give rise to electrolyte measurements of the blood. Special attention should be paid to the calcium and magnesium levels. Apart from this, a magnesium value can also be measured and evaluated in urine samples.
