I think I got heatstroke

Rose......you need to stay hydrated and stay inside for the rest of the day. This topic was addressed just a few days ago. Please go and read it here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2551715.aspx

I think I've been close to heatstroke but never actually had it. I just went into a cool room and drank some juice and ate something.

To keep properly hydrated in this weather stay away from Coffee and other caffeine drinks, including Gatorade. Plain water is the best hydrating fluid that one can get. If you can you should quit smoking as it decreases the amount of O2 your heart gets and causes it to work harder. Heat stroke and other heat related illness are nothing to fool around with. You did right by getting to the shade and AC as soon as you did.

Are you not having heart or lungs health conditions?Is it the first time you feel that way?Well,too much heat especially if you're not rehydrating yourself may cause heat exhaustion to heatstroke.If you're suffering from heat exhaustion, you may feel nauseated,headache,weakness,dizziness and may vomit.If you have a heat stroke you will have a high fever,difficulty breathing,hallucinations,seizure or coma.Maybe what you feel is just heat exhaustion.We really need to drink more fluids if we are doing rigorous activities under the hot sun.Do not also skip the possibility, that you may have a heart attack on that time because it almost have the same symptoms with heat exhaustion.As you mention that you feel ill again after you smoke which is one of the risk factors of heart and lungs health conditions,plus it was triggered by increased physical activity.It's better if you decrease or much better quit smoking.Try to have a complete medical check up as possible.

I get migraine headaches even for a very, very short while under the sun. The sun's heat is not to be taken for granted nowadays. I just heard of a friend who just had an attack because of a heatstroke that he was actually taken to the hospital. When I go out, I make sure I am protected. I don't just put on sunscreen on my face. I use an umbrella no matter how near I am heading for. Drinking lots of water especially before and while you are out is very important because dehydration is one of the main causes of heatstroke. So next time shield yourself from the direct heat.

I have had this happen t me often enough to know that you were very close. Another big problem is the ozone. If it is high that day (you can check you local weather services online for the readout) you need to stay in or at the very least do all of your out side stuff before 11am. after that the ozone just gets worse. YOu will get sick to the stomache a headache have to go to the bathroom get dizzy black outs and more. I hate it. It gets better when it rains as the rain washes it away and replaces the air with good ions. Tree also help quite a bit with the way you feel during the heat. Pine trees put off the most.

rosegardens oh yes you had heatstroke and you must now stay out of the sun and drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. stay where its cooler and do not go outside til the next day, and of please try to stop smoking as smoking kills the heart muscle eventually ask any cardiologist as he or she will tell you the same. I watched my hubby die and could do nothing to help him he had destroyed all b ut 20 percent of his heart. he had only hours left to live. do not be a victim like that please.

Quit smoking...you do all sort of exercise and Smoke. So what is the use of you hard work. Your body will not able to take all this at once. one way your body is trying to get stronger, other side you yourself smoking and chocking. Please think of your self. Quit Smoking.

For me yes if you noticed that the hit is over your body take a water or it is better you need more water to drink.

Hi Rosegardens, I am sorry to hear about the heat stroke. It does happened to me as well. Here at our place summer is terrible and we had severe power cuts, so inside home we would have high temperatures, so when i come out of home, the sudden rise in body temperature causes me dizziness and feel of vomitation. I avoid myself walking on hot summer, rather i would cool my body temperature take a cold shower twice a day.

When it's really hot outside, water sometimes won't cut it. Try drinking Gatorade, or something similar. The electrolytes in it will replace what you are sweating out.
