Brief Answer:
Seems to be low glucose and electrolytes

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

It seems that you went low on glucose and maybe electrolytes as well. Do let me know if you have any medical condition like diabetes, kidney etc.

There are some basic things about exercise that you should follow. Firstly you should do some mild exercise on first day. When you develop the stamina then you increase the duration of exercise. Secondly you should have some snacks before exercising. Never do exercise empty stomach. Thirdly take some sports drink like gatorade during exercise to make up for lost electrolytes with sweating.

I would suggest that you take some rest for now. Take adequate diet. Also take gatorade, ORS or shikanjavi with some salt in it. If the pain persists take a tablet of ibuprofen 200mg. Most probably you will get better with these steps. If you do not get better then you will need to see a doctor and get some tests done.
