Question: Does this sound like heat exhaustion / heat stroke!? Or something else!?
Yesterday I went for a very strenuous bike ride (30 miles)!. I was soaked in sweat the entire ride, and I rehydrated at the half way point!. The way back actually felt easier, except for the last half mile was a steep uphill ride!. I think I was starting to "hit the wall" because I could barely pedal towards the end!. When I finally finished, I felt really wiped out, but even after a cold shower my heart rate was still up and I still felt very hot!. At this point I started panicking (I'm an anxiety sufferer) because I wasn't recuperating!. Suddenly the feeling of hotness felt more like a fever!. I managed to eat a banana and drink some water even though I felt nauseous and light headed, but I still felt generally not well!. It was only after 4 or 5 hours did I feel back to normal!. I slept for 10 hours!. Today I woke up good (appetite is back) but I've experienced a few rushes of heat almost like I have a fever, but I know I don't!.
Has anyone ever experienced this!? Am I ok!? Should I see a doc!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like heat exhaustion!. If it was heat stroke, and it could have been getting there, you would most likely be dead now!.
I would see a doctor, but you're probably okay!. Just take it easy from now on; but you've probably already figured that out!.
I would also recommend doing some research online about the signs of heat exhaustion and especially heat stroke!. It's a very serious risk, and heat stroke can be sudden and fatal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It was probably heat exhaustion!. If it was heat stroke, you would be in the hospital!. Heat stroke is when your body temperature is over 104 degrees!. You probably worked yourself too hard and didn't have enough water in your system!. rehydrate a lot more than once, especially on a 30 mile bike ride!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
