Why do my calves feel sore and swollen every night when I go to bed?

In daily life, if you always feel soreness and swelling in your legs, it may mean that you are overly tired. Because nowadays many people work like crazy, and they are busy from morning to night without stopping. When they get home, not only will their legs feel sore, but even their backs and necks will feel the same. However, this situation can be alleviated as long as you get enough rest. So, why do you feel sore in your calves every night when you go to bed?

The normal blood calcium level of a person is maintained at 2.18-2.63 mmol/L (9-11 mg/dL). If it is lower than this range, it is considered calcium deficiency. However, for the elderly over 60 years old, due to physiological reasons, the long-term compensatory increase of parathyroid hormone in the elderly causes "calcium migration" and increases blood calcium. In this way, the measurement results cannot truly reflect the calcium content in the body. At this time, bone density measurement should be performed.

Self-diagnosis

child

When a child shows the following symptoms, you should consider whether he is calcium deficient: difficulty falling asleep, difficulty entering a deep sleep, crying after falling asleep, easy to wake up, sweating after falling asleep; paroxysmal abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramps, sternum pain, "X"-shaped legs, "O"-shaped legs, pigeon chest, gray nails or white marks; anorexia, picky eating; irritability and restlessness during the day; delayed intellectual development and speaking; late learning to walk, starting after 13 months; late teething, starting after 10 months, sparse, irregular, and loose teeth, black pointed or jagged teeth; sparse hair; poor health and prone to colds, etc.

teenager

Teenagers who are deficient in calcium will feel obvious growing pains, weak legs, cramps, and poor performance in physical education classes; they will also experience fatigue, irritability, lack of concentration, and easy tiredness; picky eating and anorexia; tooth decay and poor tooth development; and they will be prone to allergies and colds.

Young Adults

Generally speaking, young and middle-aged people have heavy life pressure, and the intense pace of life often makes them neglect some physical discomfort. In addition, there are no typical symptoms of calcium deficiency in this age group, so it is easy to conceal the condition. If you have symptoms such as frequent fatigue, weakness, cramps, back pain, allergies, and susceptibility to colds, you should suspect that you are calcium deficient.

Pregnant women

Calcium deficiency is more common among women in extraordinary times. However, with the popularization of knowledge on eugenics and good parenting, people are more familiar with the symptoms of calcium deficiency during this period. When they feel loose teeth; weak limbs, frequent cramps, numbness; back pain, joint pain, rheumatic pain; dizziness, and suffer from anemia, prenatal hypertension syndrome, edema and insufficient milk secretion, they should be diagnosed with calcium deficiency.

Elderly

After adulthood, the human body gradually enters a period of negative calcium balance, that is, calcium absorption decreases and excretion increases. Most elderly people suffer from calcium deficiency due to calcium loss. The symptoms they self-diagnosed include itching due to senile skin diseases; pain in the heels, lumbar spine and cervical spine; loose and falling teeth; obvious hunchback and decreased height; loss of appetite, gastrointestinal ulcers, constipation; frequent dreams, insomnia, irritability and anger, etc.
