I live in a place where traffic jams happen due to a lot of cars and poor road regulations and enforcing. Even if I sit down in a public utility vehicle, it makes me tired and drench in sweat.
I don’t understand how humans get tired and sick just by sitting and enduring the long traffic?
Thanks!

Nobody yet has said the answer.
You don’t realize it, but just sitting in a moving vehicle takes effort on your part!
Every time the vehicle turns, you have to use muscles to stay upright.
Imagine a 5 gallon bagful of orange juice on a seat. When the car turns right, the bagful of orange juice will want to slosh to the left.
You don’t want to slosh, so you have to use your abdominal, leg, and other muscles to stay upright.
This is true for turns, for accelerating and decelerating, even while driving in a constant speed, because there are tiny movements the vehicle makes, which your muscles subconsciously account for.
Over time, you get tired from all this muscle use!
