Night sweats and leg cramps may be caused by factors such as calcium deficiency, yin deficiency with internal heat, or deficiency of qi and blood. It is recommended to take medications such as calcium supplements, Zhibai Dihuang Pills, or Ejiao Blood Tonic Granules under a doctor's guidance to improve symptoms. Additionally, in daily life, drinking more milk and getting adequate sun exposure can help promote calcium absorption in the body.
