Sick feeling?

Has anyone else ever experienced a nauseating feeling after walking? I've been walking at an easy 3.0 pace for just a little over an hour lately and each time I'm done and in the house after drinking some water I feel sick to my stomach. Can anyone explain this?

    Luckily I have not had this feeling myself, but I know people who feel the same after exercise. It could be to do with your blood sugar. Try eating a small piece of fruit, or a banana before you go and build up slowly.
    Maybe you have not exercised for a while?

    I found this on the internet:
    Lactic acid energy system causes exhaustion after strenuous exercise- ATP-CP energy systems.
    First 10 seconds of exercise energy is fuelled my anaerobic energy, without oxygen, uses proteins. Second energy system used after this 10 seconds is aerobic, with energy, used for long distance. After strenuous exercise depending on fitness level, depletion of glycogen (carbohydrate component) causes the lactic acid energy system to kick in, tiring muscles. This depletion of glucose from carbs means that the body needs refuelling.
    Good luck.
