Heat cramps are the mildest form of heat injury and consist of painful muscle cramps and spasms that occur during or after intense exercise and sweating in high heat.

What are the symptoms of heat cramps?

Dehydration, thirst, sweating, transient (short-term) muscle cramps, and fatigue.

Painful, involuntary muscle spasms (usually occurring in the legs) are associated with exercise in the heat when athletes have been sweating profusely.

Hope this helped.
