Could Nausea, Leg Cramps, Headache Be Mild Dehydration Or Heat Exhaustion?
I have nausea, leg cramps and a headache (kinda feels like my brain is swollen inside my head, if that makes sense).. was outdoors with not a lot to drink, and it was relatively warm out as well. Could this be mild dehydration and/or heat exhaustion?

yes its seems to be heat exhaustion. Its symptoms are Dark-colored urine (a sign of dehydration),Dizziness,Fatigue,Headache, Muscle cramps, Nausea etc.
1. Drink plenty of fluid (avoid caffeine and alcohol).
2. Remove any tight or unnecessary clothing.
3. Take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath.
4. Apply other cooling measures such as fans or ice towels.
In case you donot get better in 2-3 hrs meet your family physician
