First Aid

Muscle Spasms Caused by Hyperthermia
 

They are muscle pains or cramps that involve a large group of muscles, especially the legs. People who sweat a lot during strenuous physical activity are more likely to develop fever cramps, as this sweating depletes the mineral salts and moisture in the body, which leads to a decrease in the level of salt in the muscles, causing these painful cramps.

Symptoms
    • Heavy sweating during physical activity
    • Pain in the muscles or cramping in the muscle.
First aid
  • Stop physical activity and go to a cool place
  • Drink water.
  • Wait for the cramps to heal.
Medical intervention is required in the event of:
  • Cramps persist for an hour or more.
  • Having heart problems.
  • Eating a low-sodium diet.
