Have Nausea, Appetite Loss, Increased Bowels, Vomiting, Seen After Long Walk
Hi,
After I finish a walk several Kilometers long e.g. 6km, either warm summer or cold winter - doesn't matter the temperature, my body undergoes the same sequence like consequent to a sun-stroke, i.e. nausea around the head - especially the forehead corners, loss of appetite, then shitting, then vomiting (if there's anything substantial in the stomach), and then it all comes back to normal. I'm a 40 y.o. man and it started when 39 y.o.
It happens when I either drink enough or not. It doesn't happen when I walk only 3km.

Hello,
Usually Sunstroke symptoms includes nausea, headache, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, muscle cramps. Rarely sometimes the same symptoms can be caused by dehydration, metabolic problems, and serum electrolyte differences.
You can rule out some other problems like Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Coronary Artery Diseases(CAD) and mainly do some routine blood tests for serum electrolyte changes.
You may have hydrated with some drinks but its content is also important.
Please check for CAD because in your question you mentioned that it does not happen if you walk only 3 kilometers and you are around 40 Y/O.
Have a good health.
