Heat exhaustion/illness help. Owwww…?

Q: I am a 20 year old male in pretty good health. I usually exercise regularly. However, the other day I decided to swim laps (I’m not the best swimmer) being as it was quite warm outside. The water was still mighty chilly. Needlessly, I pushed myself to 10 laps and was done. With my conditioning, 4 or five would have been a good place to stop. After that I got some form of heat exhaustion or illness. I barely made it inside, I was shivering, my pulse was racing, it was very hard to breathe, my breathes were quick and shallow, I was dizzy and nauseated, and I ended up vomiting all over the place. I was on the phone with my mom (I was alone at the time and was pretty scared) and she convinced me to drink some cool water and gatorade and not to call 911. I started feeling better after that. My question is this. That happened 3 days ago. My body is still quite spent. I don’t know whether it’s from swimming or the heat illness. Is it normal to still feel tired/weak after this?

A: Yes it’s normal, it can take some time for the body to bounce back. The main thing you need to do is to drink plenty and keep on drinking. Gatorade is good, it will replace the lost electrolytes and that is what is making you feel so exhausted right now. Keep up the fluid intake and you should be back to normal in no time.

I really want to put weight on?

Q: I live in a hot climate and during the summer eating can be hard work. I lost 4 kilos after 3 illnesses in the winter months and am having trouble regaining the weight. I have tried a tonic that I used to take, but it did not work really this time round. I eat a healthy diet, but just not the quantities in this heat. Any suggestions out there please?

A: How about getting some weight gain supplement from the local pharmacy? Do ensure that your diet consists of enough diary and protein and try to incorporate weight training in your exercise regime too. I gained 2kg from there..
