Brief Answer:
Can be a nerve related or vascular cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
There are many causes for fatigue, muscle spasms, dystrophy and weakness like:
1. Peripheral vascular disease
2. Neuropathy
3. Diabetes

It can happen due to vascular (venous) compromise. This is especially seen in people who are smokers, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a lack of physical activity.

A detailed examination by your physician is warranted to confirm the possibility. You may need a few blood tests like Fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar in addition arteriography / angiography is entailed.

In the meantime, if you have a history of smoking, high cholesterol, overweight, then these need to be dealt with.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
