Hi... This feeling could be due to loss of micronutrients..and salts from the body and not replaced properly.. The loss could be due to excessive sweating..or you metabolism is a bit high. I suggest you to have ors and tender coconut water whenever possible... Have warm shower before going to bed.. U can opt for swimming to improve your muscle relaxation and activity.. Hope this is helpful.. Revert back incase if I need further clarification...
