Exercise Activity Heat Muscle Cramps and Sweat Cause of Rash
Heat cramps are muscle pains or spasms, usually cramping the abdomen, arms, or legs muscles. If you sweat profusely during strenuous exercise or activity, then you are more liable to experience heat muscle cramps.
Your exercise or activity sweating depletes your body of salt and moisture. A low salt level in the muscles causes those “pull you right out of bed” painful cramps. When any of your muscles go into a heat cramp:
- Drink clear juice or a sports beverage
- Stop all activity and relax in a cool place
- Your cramps don’t subside within 1 hour, seek medical assistance
- Lay off your strenuous activity for a bit, continuing may lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke
If you have heart problems or on a low-sodium diet, discuss your heat muscle cramping with your doctor.
Heat rash is a skin irritation caused by your sweating during hot, humid weather. It appears as a red cluster of pimples or small blisters. Your neck, upper chest, groin, under the breasts and elbow creases are the areas these sweaty heat rashes most often appear.
The best treatment is by keeping your “rashy” area dry, powdered for comfort and take steps to provide the skin rash surface a cooler, less humid environment.
Heat rashes can occur at any age, but most common often seen in young children.
