    @@reecehorn1807 don’t worry about it it’ll go away in about 24-48 hours. My best tips are turn on the AC if you have one, put a cold towel on your forehead and drinks lots of cold water. You might also wanna lay in your bed without the cover until you feel like you need it. Other websites suggest that you use ice packets and place them under your armpits and on your neck. Hopefully this will help

    Had this the other day. 35 degrees in humid weather. Felt like I was going to die. Still getting a few stomach cramps. Had no appetite at all. Sweat everywhere. But then because I’d lost so much heat I was shivering under the shade. Wasn’t pleasant. Oh and I vomited a few times and felt really nauseous

I really felt dizzy and unbalanced when I was on a paddle board with someone else rowing it. I got off that ASAP. I mainly felt completely exhausted. Because I lost my appetite because of the heat. I think I should have gotten checked out looking back at it. But someone I was with was a pharmacist so I had a bit of help on what to eat etc. Also please note. The place I was staying was unbearably hot. We needed to get fans to cool the place down. So normally I would be cool in my house. But in this case I was in a boiling air B&B. So I couldn’t really escape the heat. What I did to help myself was a cool shower. Normally I hate cool showers but in this case it was really soothing.

    Grew up riding dirt bikes and racing. Today went to I big riding area in central Florida for the first time in a long time and it has been HOT. I have not been in solid shape and also work inside in the ac. Got a ocular migraine then proceeded with the chills and lack of sweating. Little bit of disorientation along with my right fingers going numb. Absolutely terrifying. Started feeling better after being in the truck ac and a cold shower when I got back. Scary stuff

    Today(July 2)I worked an event doing festival hair. The issue is that there were 3 workers,3 clients, 1 big fan, 1 small fan(which they didn’t even want to bring). I ended up having to work on the side of the tent that had the sun shining down on it, which also got no fan because the way it was positioned. The other two shaded and cool. My people complained about how hot they were. Anyways I ended up struggling to do my job with 2 people, and the last I passed off to the person in the middle because I couldn’t think straight. I got this migraine that felt like a nail was in the right side of my head. I tried to cool down in a shaded area away from people but I was feeling worse. Face was SUPER DRY. Skin getting red. Felt like I couldn’t breathe at some points. Finally my pulse and breathing got better so I went back to the booth. They asked how I was and I said “not sure. I’ve stopped sweating.” And their reply “oh that’s a good thing!” 😪 my dads a healthcare professional and the second I told him “dry as f***” he said “WTH ARE YOU DOING? Get to someplace with AC, water, and a place you can sit or lie down. Do not allow people to put your life at risk. Especially with your thyroid and meds you’re more likely to get a heat stroke than others) and with that I left and haven’t heard from anyone.

    I’m not sure if I got heat stroke or heat exhaustion. It was 95° and I was running at a track meet. The second I finished the race, I started vomiting and I was a bit dizzy. After a bit, I had chills. There was no where cool to go and I didn’t want to risk fainting, so I had to miss the next race :(. Also, I’m not sure if this could be related or not, but I lost some blood because I got kicked in by spikes while running, and I also have bad allergies. Does anyone know if this is heat stroke or exhaustion?

I lost all my senses in that time. My friends gave me water and they sprayed my face with water . THEN I came back to my sense. It felt like my brain did a system reboot. I couldn't remember how I fainted or got down in the ground. This experience was very scary for me.. Hopefully this doesn't happen when I am driving or crossing the road.
