Hot cramps are debilitating contractions of muscles, usually following exercise. These usually happen to people who cannot get acclimatized to the specific location. There is no research to say what creates them directly but some have shown a depletion of electrolytes is the culprit. Thankfully these hot cramps usually subside once the person is completely acclimatized to the location. You may find it easier when using cold wheat bags

Heat exhaustion is a more of an important injury which results from dehydration and a lack of electrolytes. The person in question might feel dizzy, light-headed, fatigued, or develop a headache. If heat exhaustion is in fact happening, the person should be moved to a cool place, given a cool wheat bag, and allowed to sip fluids to replace those that have been lost.
