Suggest Treatment For Cramps
Hi, My name is Ken, I am 55 years of age, non smoker non drinker about 10 kilos overweight. General health is good and has always been good. Asthmatic in my early years but grew out of it for the most part.
Experienced an unusual pain/cramp I have never had before.. My soft palate and possibly surrounding tissue seemed to cramp last night before going to bed. It felt like the whole middle part of my head was involved, bottom part of my sinuses, soft palate, back of the throat, TMJ muscles etc. It didn't effect my tongue and didn't seem to involve the brain. No vision disturbance or dizziness etc. It lasted about 10 - 15 minutes and I have a bit of residual pain similar to the pain I sometimes experience after a calf muscle cramp which dissipates in time.
Would appreciate any help with what this may be and if it needs to be investigated. Thanks Ken
