What Causes Twitching Sensation In Right Calf?

I am having a constant twitching/cramping sensation in my right calf. It is more noticeable when I am sitting down and at night when I lay down to go to sleep. This twitching/cramping sensation started a few days ago. I have not injured my leg in any way and I am not a runner. I am not very active and I am over weight. I don t smoke, drink or do drugs. I am a healthy 43 year old woman. I do have a lot of stress in my life though. What is causing the sensation I my right calf?
