Calambre por calor
Ocurre cuando se ejercita o se efectĂșan labores pesadas en un clima caliente sin una rehidrataciĂłn apropiada.
Existe dolor, rigidez muscular a la palpaciĂłn y limitaciĂłn funcional.
El tratamiento es:
Quitar al paciente del ambiente caliente
Estirar suavemente el mĂșsculo
Dar masaje para fomentar circulaciĂłn
Administrar lĂquidos con electrolitos como las bebidas deportivas o Vida Suero Oral
Calambre Muscular
Normalmente se producen durante la noche, despuĂ©s de un dĂa de una actividad mayor a la acostumbrada; siendo menos comunes durante el dĂa, con ejercicio. Un movimiento inquieto o estiramiento producirĂĄ una contracciĂłn dura de un musculo (mĂĄs frecuentemente del pie o pierna) que no puede relajarse por sĂ mismo. El musculo esta visible y se siente duro y dolorosos. Con un buen masaje y estiramiento para regresar la circulaciĂłn, se puede hacer que se afloje el musculo, aunque puede quedar susceptible a nuevos calambres menos fuetes.
Heat cramps:
This occurs when you exercise or perform heavy labor in a hot climate without proper rehydration.
There is pain, muscle stiffness, palpation, and functional limitation.
Treatment options:
Remove patient from hot climate
Gently stretch the muscle
Massage the area to promote circulation
Drink fluids with electrolytes such as sports drinks or serum
Muscular cramp:
Usually they occur at night, after a day with higher activity than usual; they are less common during the day, with exercise. A restless movement or stretching will produce a hard contraction of a muscle (more frequent in foot or leg) that cannot relax by itself. The muscle is visible and it feels hard and painful. With a good massage and stretching, circulation will return, this can cause muscle to loosen but may be susceptible to more cramps that are less strong.
So, drink a lot of water and visit your doctor before you start a new diet or taking any medicine.
