Hi,

This is due to loss of salts and dehydration on walking and also from lack of nutrient supply. Maybe you start walking without any food intake. You need not worry it is a normal thing.

Tell me more about yourself: Age, gender, any other history.

Let me know as it will help to address your issue better.

To prevent it take food and plenty of fluids before going for a long journey.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soheel Hussain Zargar,
