Hello,
It is not much common. I think it can be caused by electrolyte abnormalities. I can suggest you take magnesium and vitamin B 6 in order to help muscle relaxation. If it still continues it can be an issue with your spine. You may need to do an X-ray of the spine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
