I had a pretty big day on the roof doing some pointing repairs yesterday. I thought I was being careful taking it easy, drinking lots of water, protected from the sun. But I woke up feeling rubbish.
This is the second time it has happened this month. Feeling drained and tired but not sick. @consciouscat and I came to the conclusion that I just must have done too much and sweated more than I could drink. I am going to add a bit of salt to my water bottle and see if that helps as if I was doing an ultra running event or iron man.
It was interesting to check my heart rate, and it was 20 beats higher than normal all morning, even though I did nothing except take it as easy as possible.
Then bang all of a sudden in the afternoon. I felt better, and the heart dropped back to normal. I just needed a bit of a rest. I will have to make it easier on the big jobs at home as I am not as young as I used to be.
Activity count was right down for me today. I only managed the afternoon stroll after taking it easy most of the day.
