What Causes Severe Cramps In The Body And Dizziness After Playing Tennis?
I played tennis twice today and after my 2nd match, i was cramping really badly when i sat down. The cramp starts from my feet and up my whole body. And my back was cramping so badly that i can hardly breathe. I am not dizzy or nauseous though it was hot today

Hello,
Cramping is often caused by one of three problems, not enough water, not the correct vitamins or electrolytes, or not enough stretching. Make sure that you are drinking plenty of water and avoid things that are dehydrating like caffeine or alcohol. Take a multivitamin/multimineral daily and be sure to stretch well before and after tennis.
Taking yoga classes can really help you to learn good stretches
Regards
