Is a rapid heartbeat and hyperventilation a sign of dehydration?
Asked 2 years ago

I’m looking for the best way to avoid heatstroke, dehydration, and other heat-related illnesses when I’m out riding. I noticed something from my last session. I was hyperventilating and my heart was beating faster than normal.
