Muscle spasms can occur at any time to anyone. Whether you are old, young, sedentary or active, you may develop a muscle spasm. It can happen when you walk, sit, perform any exercise, or even sleep. Some individuals are prone to muscle spasms and get them regularly with any physical exertion. However, those who are at greatest risk from muscle spasms are infants, those over 65, people who overexert during exercise, those who are ill, and endurance athletes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b5dfdeb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b5dfdeb\"
