I'm totally freaked out right now! First of all, I am TOTALLY out of shape and have not gotten on my bike since last summer. Secondly, I just moved back to Colorado (a high elevation state) after living in Europe for 6 months.

Anyway, I just got on my bike (without stretching or anything) and rode around the block twice. Part of my block is kind of a steep uphill but not that bad. Anyway, when I got off my bike in front of my house I suddenly felt so weak and my legs could barely support me to walk up three steps to my doorway. I could feel my heart pounding in my throat and my vision started to go fuzzy and my ears started ringing. I got some water and sat down with my head between my legs because I knew I was going to faint if I didn't. Then I started feeling so nauseous. It took my about 20 minutes for me to recover and I still feel really weak!

I'm just totally freaked out because it was not that much physical activity and I've never had anything like this happen to me before. What happened to me!
