Nausea in the evenings from increased exercise?

edited February 2 in Fitness and Exercise
For the past month I've been doing way more cardio then typical. in the past I was getting a 20/30min run during the week and some strength training. Now I started commuting by bike to work so I'm up to about 1 1/2 hours of cardio 4x a week. I maintain a fairly strenuous pace when biking since I'm usually late to work : / Once a week I take a kickboxing class in addition the ride. About a week or two in to the new routine I started getting nausea every night. I didn't connect to exercise until I took a week vacation and it went away. I started back up on my kickboxing night. Is this normal? Does anyone know why this could be happening or anything I can eat/drink/do to prevent it?

Thanks for the Help!
Suzanne

    I know from experience that if your adrenals are fatigued, you can overexercise and strain them to the point of feeling sick.

    Hope you find an answer soon.

    What is your food like? I used to get nauseous when I worked out and was watching my carbs - also if I couldn't eat soon after my workout I would feel a little sick.

    I eat plenty of carbs. Lots of fruit. I'm a bit low on protein. I try to add as much as I can but usually come out under suggested.

    Why i find it weird is that it's not immediately after working out but more like an hour or 2 later.

    It does sound like it may be adrenal-related. Here's a good site to check out regarding that.

    I recommend her book, The Schwarzbein Principle II

    You can find it pretty cheap on half.com, or you can usually just borrow from the library.
