Best Answer

Some causes can be grasping something tightly or for a long period of time, fatigue, injury, dehydration, hypocalcemia, kidney disease, dystonia, hyperventilation, and too many other causes to add all of them.

More information:

Some questions your health care professional may ask to determine the cause:

What were you doing prior to hands/fingers cramping?

Is anything else different?

Is it both hands/all fingers?

How long does the cramping last?

What, if anything, brings relief?

Is the cramping sporadic? Does it occur at certain times/activities?

How long has this occurred?

How does addition work?

Addition is like counting on your fingers. If you hold up two fingers on you hand, then you put up two more fingers, you don't say I have 2 fingers up and now i put up two more so i have two fingers up doubled, you say I have four fingers up. Like adding, counting on your fingers is exactly the same. For instance. two plus two if four so on your fingers you can put up two fingers and then put up two more and have four. I hope I helped you!
