I guess I overworked in the sun and heat, despite lotsa H2O, a few gatoraids and bannanas, 2 hrs after getting home it hit me. :(
I had to go to the ER for an "oil change".
Dehydrated and low sodium electrolyte.
3 bags of saline helped as did the painkillers. :)
I guess I need to be more careful.

Slight dizziness, tingling in my hands and feet, rapid short breathing, HOT. I put bags of ice under my armpits and behind my neck and it was flowing water from melting so quickly when it touched my skin. Drank two big bottles of Gatorade and put the air condition on in the truck. After about 15 minutes (when temp came down) I was freezing so bad my teeth were chattering and it was 90+ outside.
Not a good feeling. It has happened three times in 5 years and each time I say I won't go in the woods in August!
