    When you exert yourself you sweat more which means you lose more electrolytes. You absolutely were low on the electrolytes.

    Electrolytes do a lot of things, but the body uses them to move water around. So sweat uses electrolytes. That’s why sweat taste salty.

    It could have been a combination of moderate heat stroke, and low electrolytes. The salt definitely helped you

      Ah is that the osmosis thing where the imbalance in charge causes liquids to diffuse across the membranes? I also remember that it’s important for action potential in neurons.

      Thanks a lot. I’ll make a plan for tackling it.
