Frequent cramps in the elderly are mainly considered to be related to overactivity, hypocalcemia, and epilepsy. They can be relieved by resting, taking calcium supplements and oral anti-epileptic drugs. 1. Excessive activities: If the elderly are overly active during the daytime, resulting in muscle fatigue, frequent cramps will occur. After resting, the cramps will gradually return to normal, and patients are advised to combine work and rest. 2. Hypocalcemia: With the age of the elderly patients, the loss of calcium in the body leads to osteoporosis, which is manifested in the symptoms of frequent cramps. Calcium carbonate, vitamin D and other calcium supplements can be used as prescribed by the doctor. 3. Epilepsy: This disease is caused by highly synchronized abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain, with symptoms such as cramps and convulsions at the onset, which can be diagnosed with the help of cranial magnetic resonance examination and electroencephalography. Epilepsy medications such as carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and sodium valproate are used as prescribed according to the type of epilepsy. Elderly patients with frequent cramps should go to the hospital outpatient clinic, improve the auxiliary examination to clarify the cause of the disease and then systematic treatment, do not blindly use their own medication.
