Leg cramping can occur from running, hiking, bicycling etc, especially if you do not stretch before and after, and have insufficient potassium. Try grabbing your toes and stretching out the cramp when it happens.
The severe pain from cramping can cause the V-V reaction. Lie down on the floor, raise your legs to prevent pooling of blood in your legs, get something cold on your neck. If someone is with you, have them do this, and if you pass out, they should be sure your airways are clear. You can buy ammonia capsules to keep on hand and tell your helper to berak it and pass under your nose. You need a medical workup to find out what is going on.
