[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I'm not feeling too good. What do I do.

Posted: 3/28/2009 10:55:01 PM EDT

Got up at 6:30 AM and went on 3 hour bike ride. Came home ate breakfast, then did 4.5 hours of heavy yardwork not counting lunch break. It was mild out, but the sun was shining hard. Did not get hat because I was too dirty. Drank 2X44oz of ice water during yard work. Finished work and took hour nap (mostly just relax; slept about 10 min I think.). Went in garage and did 30 minute Weights workout (100 crunches, 3X10 Squat, 3X10 Deadlift, 2X10Lunges, 100 bicycle crunches). Ate dinner; at this time it was noted I had sunburn on face. After dinner I mowed the lawn.

All was well until 20 minutes ago. Now I have nausea and chills.

What do i do? Take asprin and go to bed?

Dibs on the usual stuff

Aspirin + bed sounds about right.

Drink some half water/half Gatorade and get some sleep.

Drink a big glass of orange juice, and eat some potato chips

Nausea and chills for me indicate that I'm about to puke soon. Try and yak, maybe you'll feel better afterwards. I hate puking, but once I do it, I feel better. You might be a little dehydrated.

Dibs on your guns

Sometimes when I'm in the direct sun all day,I'll feel the same way.Usually only happens around this time of year, spring. After the first few times I'm fine.
I always figured too much sun without being used to it, like working on a roof or something.

Yes, use what time you have left to send your guns off to friends.

hydrate and sleep sounds like you're coming down with the flu

Sounds like you overdid it today man. Multivitamin + electrolytes (Gatorade etc.) and get some rest. You'll feel better in the morning.

Drink lots of whiskey, rub one out, then go to bed.

Actually it turned out I had an infection of the lower leg (cellulitis). But the symtoms (redness of skin, chills, nausea) fooled me into thinking it was Sunburn and Dehydration.

Sun poisoning. Being a fair skinned irishman I know exactly what you're going through. Solarcain on sunburn, drink more water, and sleep.

eta:read above post, hope all is well.
