What to do if your legs cramp while sleeping? Emergency treatment methods

If you suddenly get a leg cramp while sleeping, it is really uncomfortable, affecting both your sleep and your mood. However, if the cramp is not very serious, you only need to deal with it a little. Below, I will share some emergency treatment methods for leg cramps while sleeping.

When you have cramps, lift your toes and curl your feet to quickly relieve the pain.

We often see people with cramps holding their toes and lifting their soles, with others holding their soles, or with themselves holding the wall or something, and they will gradually get better after a while. However, if you sleep alone at night, try to do this as well, which is very effective in quickly relieving pain.

Post-treatment: You can massage the painful area yourself.

Most of the time, after a cramp, there will be some pain or muscle tension or soreness left. At this time, you can use your hands to pinch and massage the cramped area. Or it would be better to ask someone to help you, so that you can relax more.

Dietary calcium supplementation:

Eat more calcium-rich foods, such as beans, milk, meat, bone soup, seafood, etc. We all know that cramps are associated with calcium supplementation. Yes, a large part of cramps are caused by calcium deficiency. I remember once I told my mother that I had cramps recently, then our family's meals would be greatly improved this month. Yes, it is better to choose food supplements to supplement calcium. Of course, severe calcium deficiency requires the use of drugs.
