Question:
Was I having a mild heat stroke?
I had just gotten finished exerciseing and my stomache hurt really bad. i mean thought i was gonna die bad. my vision was distorted, i was dizzy, and pouring sweat. i had a killer headache, and i could barely walk. my face is still blood red. so was this a heat stroke like thing or am i just terribly out of shape?
Answers:
Heat exhaustion is more like it. Heat stroke has tale tell signs like cool and clammy skin with no sweat. You were sweating; therefore, you were getting heat exhaustion. If you feel this way again, you should stop immediately and get to shade. Make sure there is someone nearby to monitor you. Finally, make sure you hydrate yourself the NIGHT BEFORE you exercise! Your body isn't fully hydrated if you drink water just before you go for a run.
Best of luck.
