OP's is a repeated occurrence happening 35 minutes into a ride. You're talking about a person one time getting depleted over a very, very long ride. If a person is losing their electrolytes as fast as OP would have to be, something is seriously wrong generally and they need to be seen medically.
The example I gave was what happens with
confirmed electrolyte depletion and its effects, intended as information for OP.
Being seen medically was also a part of my story, as it should be for OP. Anyone who relies solely on medical advice from Bikeforums.net deserves whatever outcome they get.
