Question:

What do i have? is it heat exhaustion?

all of today and yesterday i was out in the sun at the lake and i used sun screen but on the 3 hour car ride home i was still in my wet swim suit and the windows were down so i was freezing and i had very bad sunburns so i was burning up, there was a lot of traffic so it ended up being about 4 hours in the car and by the time i got home i couldnt even stand up, i took a cool bath and drank a lot of water and felt a little better but still... im dizzy, my stomach really really hurts, and my hearts beating a little fast?? help? and by the way everyone in my house is sleeping so i cant get any sports drinks and i hate hospitals, so say that i should see a doctor as much as you want but i wont go... is there anything that could help?


Answers:

Yes, you are pretty severely dehydrated. You are right so far, you need to continue to sip cool water - but you also need to eat a light meal to replenish your electrolytes. Feel better.
