Muscles cramp when they contract involuntarily and don't relax. This can happen due to various reasons, such as dehydration, overuse, poor blood circulation, or mineral deficiencies like low levels of potassium, calcium, or magnesium. Other causes can include muscle fatigue, nerve compression, or certain medical conditions.
