Heat cramps: First aid.
Heat cramps are painful, involuntary muscle spasms that usually occur during heavy exercise in hot environments. The spasms may be more intense and more prolonged than typical nighttime leg cramps. Inadequate fluid intake often contributes to heat cramps.
Muscles often affected include those of your calves, arms, abdominal wall and back, although heat cramps may involve any muscle group involved in exercise.
If you suspect heat cramps:
Rest briefly and cool down
Drink clear juice or an electrolyte-containing sports drink
Practice gentle, range-of-motion stretching and gentle massage of the affected muscle group
Call your doctor if your cramps don’t go away in an hour
