The sun and overexerting myself can cause nausea. If I'm out in the sun at all, I wear sunblock, light cycling UV protection jackets that block the sun but are breathable, sun sleeves, cover-ups, scarves, etc. and make sure I hydrate with electrolytes (Nuun is great). Then I pace myself with lots of breaks.

Photosensitivity response varies in us all. Make sure to note the time in the sun and what you've eaten to see perhaps a pattern to address in future appointments with your health care team.
