Hey guys! I do martial arts as a hobby and it has been super hot down here where I live, well last night when we got half way through the kicks I started feeling sick, and it wouldn't go away, but as long as I was moving I was feeling ok, but when it came to get a drink i felt terrible. The sickness feeling felt like I was hungry, but I ate before I went. Well I did second class, and I felt worse, but I didn't stop, because we weren't doing anything but drills anyway. I got home and I was feeling really bad...I felt I was hungry and but I couldn't eat. So I went to bed and I threw up twice, and I still have this feeling in my stomach, but I ate a little this morning.
I have two things I thing could've happen...i got so hungry and it made me sick or I got too hot...
can anyone help me?

Pedialite is good. You'll absorb it more easily than water. Just drink it until you feel better, then switch back to water, making sure to drink more water than usual during the hot weather. You can get Pedialite in most supermarkets and pharmacies in the babyfood area. It had less sugar and junk than sportdrinks that are supposed to keep you hydrated.
You can also up your salt and potassium intake.

You could have eaten something that disagreed with you, or you're not drinking enough liquids to compensate for the fact that you're working out in very hot conditions. Drink more water or tone down the workouts until the weather cools off.

It is very easy to get heat stroke, and very dangerous. If you suspect your condition may be heat related, the first thing you should do is get out of the heat. The next thing you should do is seek medical attention. If you're vomiting you can become dehydrated quickly, which will make you feel worse.

sounds like heat stroke to me!!! the answer is long but this can be VERY serious!!!
What are the symptoms of heat stroke?
The following are the most common symptoms of heat stroke, although each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
* headache
* dizziness
* disorientation, agitation or confusion
* sluggishness or fatigue
* seizure
* hot, dry skin that is flushed but not sweaty
* a high body temperature
* loss of consciousness
* rapid heart beat
* hallucinations
How is heat stroke treated?
It is important for the person to be treated immediately as heat stroke can cause permanent damage or death. There are some immediate first aid measures you can take while waiting for help to arrive.
* Get the person indoors.
* Remove clothing and gently apply cool water to the skin followed by fanning to stimulate sweating.
* Apply ice packs to the groin and armpits.
* Have the person lie down in a cool area with their feet slightly elevated
Intravenous fluids are often necessary to compensate for fluid or electrolyte loss. Bed rest is generally advised and body temperature may fluctuate abnormally for weeks after heat stroke.
How can heat stroke be prevented?
There are precautions that can help protect you against the adverse effects of heat stroke. These include:
* Drink plenty of fluids during outdoor activities, especially on hot days. Water and sports drinks are the drinks of choice; avoid tea, coffee, soda and alcohol as these can lead to dehydration.
* Wear lightweight, tightly woven, loose-fitting clothing in light colors.
* Schedule vigorous activity and sports for cooler times of the day.
* Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, sunglasses and using an umbrella.
* Increase time spent outdoors gradually to get your body used to the heat.
* During outdoor activities, take frequent drink breaks and mist yourself with a spray bottle to avoid becoming overheated.
* Try to spend as much time indoors as possible on very hot and humid days.
If you live in a hot climate and have a chronic condition, talk to your physician about extra precautions you can take to protect yourself against heat stroke.

Could be both...being severely overheated would definitely do that to ya. Try to keep drinking though...dehydration will make you even worse.

if you feel like you have the flue or like your getting one try this. drink nothing but water, take small sips at a time to get your body dehydrated. if you drink to much when your overly dehydrated you will throw it back up.

It sounds like you may have heat stroke or be dehydrated. Get some gatorade (a couple bottles) and get in to see your doctor today.
