    When I'm hunting either pigs with dogs or deer stalking, I rest frequently. This gives the dogs time to work, and me a chance to study the country I'm in and more importantly to conserve fuel in my body for the carry out. I don't carry liquid when hunting (extra weight) and have yet in the 40yrs of hunting experienced dizzy spells, apart from a balance condition due to tinnitus, which I have since resolved. I read with some concern about your incidence on this hunting trip and would strongly suggest a decent medical just to be on the safe side. I had a friend who was extremely fit and a bloody good hunter, who always hunted by himself, have a Heart attack whilst hunting. Be safe and minimise the risks. I do a major medical every 3yrs for my commercial diving tickets, and it's bloody good piece of mind. Just go into any Coronary ward in any Hospital and see the number of young guys who have suffered a stroke or heart attack. Nana's rant over

    All good GA. I have a medical annually through work.
    I am normally fine with a solid days hunting but this time we went way to hard for way to long.
    I should have had a decent rest in between stints but we kept pushing on.
