What Causes Severely Elevated Body Temperature And Mucus Build-up Upon Exercising?

Every time I play basketball I always start over heating and start to build up a lot of mucus. At times I have to stop in the middle of the game to go throw up and drink some water and throw water on my face and head to cool down. What can I do to prevent this?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The temperature rises because of the high activity you are practicing and because of the increased metabolic rate. Your cells overall increase their work. Especially liver cell to produce glucose for the muscles which need energy a lot. Liver is like the mother of the body cells, it works to provide others cell "food" like glukoze throughout glycogenolisis and neoglucogenesis. the muscle uses it's glycogen deposits only for its needs. So don't worry it is because of the speeded up metabolism.
