Shaking like mad?

[PurpleButterflyAway]

Went for a walk around a (local) nature walk today, about a 6/7 mile round trip. Took some food and a drink, it is definitely the most active I’ve been since lockdown started but it was really good to get out and stretch my legs.

I hurt everywhere now. Been home a few hours, had dinner etc but I’ve now started shaking like mad, I can’t stop. Heart is hammering too, feels like I’m having a panic attack (except without any of the other symptoms!) I don’t feel cold, just sore from my head to my toes, weak and trembling. Is this a normal reaction to increasing your physical activity? I used to have no problem whatsoever walking that distance and more pre lockdown. I’ve kept active with daily walks during lockdown but probably only about 2/3 miles instead of 6

Did you have a shower when you got home? Sometimes if you're covered in sweat it can make you shivery.

Have a bite to eat and a hot drink. I sometimes get like that when I'm really tired.

That's not a normal reaction to exercise, but it's not a common covid symptom either. You're probably coming down with a nasty fluish cold? That's what the all-over ache always means for me, whether I'm throaty/nosy or not.

No I don't think that sounds normal if you have had dinner. Maybe you need some sugar in your system. What did you eat?

@tectonicplates yes had a shower, dried my hair etc afterwards too.

@Iminaglasscaseofemotion had some tuna pasta and salad for dinner then a caramel cream cake type thing after and a cup of coffee, maybe an hour and a half ago.

@TheHighestSardine really hope I’m not coming down with a flu type thing, will probably find out tomorrow morning if I am though. Always seem to wake up with them in full swing if I’m getting one!

It's been hot here today. Did you overheat?

If it was sunny or you got over warm ( it takes very little for me ) I would say its heat stroke .
try to drink plenty of water with a little salt and sugar but make sure the water is at body temp , cold water may shock your system .
It takes me 3 or 4 hours at least to start to feel normal ish again but a good 2 days to feel anything like better .

Have you got a thermometer to take your temperature?

Ahh entirely possible I’ve overheated, it was quite cloudy here but warm, temp up to 19 here today. Will try the warm water, see if that helps a bit, thanks

Heatstroke? Look at the nhs website, I've had it a couple of times. Had achy muscles for a few days.

I’ve had this recently, only difference is that I’m used to that amount of exercise. I could see my whole arm shaking in time to my pulse. Felt tired for a day or so but nothing came of it - could well be the heat for me as the sun often affects me.

Could be blood sugar? That's how I feel when my sugar is high.

I'm also going with heat issue. Rehydrate yourself too and lay down for a bit and see how you feel - call non emergency line if you feel worse or it continues though (I'm not medical!)

@PurpleButterflyAway Get some electrolytes too! Possible dehydration is a factor in how you’re feeling. Hope you soon feel better.

Try a banana and some coconut water.

I was also going to say heat stroke. I remember having it once as a child. I'd been out for the day to a carnival with a friend. It was a hot day and we were outside all day. I probably didn't drink enough. I can remember going to bed that night and shaking constantly and being quite scared. Parents had gone out and older brother was in charge. I think i just drank water and eventually it calmed down.
