0:03Hey there, welcome to Paging Dr.
0:05Gupta.
0:06Every week you've been sending in questions, things that you're curious about, and I've been listening.
0:11We're digging into the facts to help you understand your health better.
0:15And with that, we'll get to our first question.

0:19Hey, Sanjay.
0:20Our first question is from a 60-year-old listener named Florence.
0:25I'm a physical therapist, and I have been getting nocturnal cramping in my proneal muscles, sometimes other muscles of my, of one foot or one leg, and each doctor seems to just say this is just age.
0:40I'm wondering if you could address this.
0:42I hear a lot of this from my patients about night cramps, and it seems like it's something that's just brushed aside as not important.
0:49Of course, I've heard things like eat bananas, take magnesium, take potassium.
0:55I've tried those things, no effect.
0:57So I'm wondering if you have any insight or research on that.
