You ever been out in the sun and heat for too long, to the point it made you sleepy and sick?

[Finchie40]

I was working in my yard today and the heat and sunlight was brutal , but I love this weather so I am not complaining , I did push myself a little to much to the point I feel like I can barely move now , I been drinking water like no tomorrow , to keep me hydrated , but now I feel like I ruined my evening , cuz now I don’t want to do shit , Have you ever felt this way after severe heat and sun?

Finches, you are a very smart man and I just know that you know that if you drink too much water you could potentially drown yourself. People have actually done this and died.
When I used to have to go outside in the heat I brought a spray bottle of water with me and sprayed myself to keep cool.
Have you seen those personal fans that you wear around your neck and they keep you cool?
I stop before it's too late. I don't push myself outside. I push myself inside though.😅
I don't want to read a message from you that you are in the hospital because you have sun stroke or some other malidy keeping you in the hospital.🏥
Slow it down okay. We want to keep you with us for a long time.
I heard years ago that it's going to get a few more degrees every summer 🌞🏝️ from now on.
Maybe they can fix the broken Ozone Layer?
Stay cool 😎 my friend.

Thanks @sage2021 , it definitely feels like the heat temperature and humidity rose tremendously, these past few days were extremely hot , I never been to Florida but if Florida weather feels like what i just experienced, I don’t think I want to go to Florida anymore lol

I've been out in the sun to the point I got hives like allergic attack and became extremely difficult for me to breath and felt nauseous.

I've also expressed dizziness many times as summer where I live are not just terribly hot but also humid.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Please mix WHO ORS powder with 1 litre water and keep taking few sips every half an hour or have or have some lemonade and just rest. Eat something light so you don't feel nauseous.

[Finchie40]

Thank you , I feel better now , I drank ice water and took some cool showers and it seemed to help me , it was definitely a sauna outside these past few days

[Genie23]

Glad to hear that, Finchie :-)

that's what you call heat exhaustion... and you did well to go drink water after, instead of alcohol... and maybe don't do it again if you have other conditions too, because it can lead to a heatstroke

" Symptoms of heat exhaustion

The signs of heat exhaustion include:

- tiredness
- dizziness
- headache
- feeling sick or being sick
- excessive sweating and skin becoming pale and clammy or getting a heat rash, but a change in skin colour can be harder to see on brown and black skin
- cramps in the arms, legs and stomach
- fast breathing or heartbeat
- a high temperature
-being very thirsty
- weakness "

Yes I need to be really careful in the sun, had to get someone to call ambulance on a couple of occasions, so I just stay in the shade as much as possible to avoid this, I'k UK so didn't have to pay but it's selfish to take any chances in future,,,

[Nikolakoala5]

Yup its called sun stroke... stay hydrated and in a cool environment to cool down, try putting a cold wet rag on your forehead if all else fails i would put feet in cool water and run your wrists under some cold running water. Hope this helps

[cavedweller1973]
