Being in the sun makes me very hot and gives me a terrible headache. Can I do an!
Question:
Being in the sun makes me very hot and gives me a terrible headache. Can I do anything to fix it?
It gets even worse if I do some kind stuff outside, like mowing my lawn or something. I have to hose myself with cold water like every 5 minutes, and even then, after I'm done (I usually spend around 30-45 minutes out in the sun at a time) I feel weakness and usually get a headache.
It doesn' get too hot where I live - in summer usually 85-95 degrees.
My blood pressure is normal, I'm 6'2", 180 lbs; any help will be appreciated.
Answers:
Each person is made differently. Some cannot stand heat, others cold. And it changes as hormonal changes take place.
I am sure you do very well in Winter.
I'd suggest the following things.
Take a cool shower prior to working in the Sun. Keep head under cool water. Helps.
Take a cooling drink. Like lemonade with mint.
Like some mentioned, take plenty of water on a regular basis.
And do put on a hat and sun glasses.
Keep some cool drink near you. Keep drinking, time to time. I think u also need salts and some sugar as your energy level goes down.
Also, alternately, you can try warm tea before you go out. I have heard in warm countries they take tea and not cool drinks when it gets hot outside.
Hope it helps. Wish you best.
