Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to electrolyte imbalance or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D or B12. It is better to do blood test for electrolytes like sodium potassium calcium and magnesium. Vitamin b12 and D level should be checked also. If these are low taking supplements of it will help to normalize your condition. You can take dark chocolate , banana and milk which is good also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
