Hello Pat and welcome.
There are various causes for muscle cramps like dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, nerve impingement, medication, exercises, ergonomic factors, etc.
I would recommend you to visit your doctor at the earliest for an accurate diagnosis and treatment accordingly. In the meantime,make sure you keep yourself adequately hydrated.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
