Anxiety cause calf cramps?

[BazB44]

I used to get calf cramps overnight as a kid, but lately ive had them in my left calf during the day. This morning i was real anxious and my left leg felt so tense, my left calf kept seizing up upon movement.

I calmed down, and its been okay since. I walk slower and take deep breaths and so far its ok.

But i was so scared to death. Like every movement made my left calf cramp up. My entire left leg felt tight, but only the calf cramped.

Has this happened to anyone?

I have found that anxiety can pretty much cause anything! I get all kinds of muscle pain/cramps/twitching when my anxiety is high. We don't realize how much we tense our bodies when we worry. I'd take an Advil to reduce inflammation and put a heating pad on it and I bet it'll clear up!
