Jacquie802 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm surprised I made it home today. I was just at the store for about a half hour when i started gettting the sweats badly and i got a dull pain in my head and felt like i was going to pass out. i just took my bp and its not too bad, just 120/80 pulse 100 and 106/68, pulse 110 when I stand. I just have this horrible pressure in my head. Could it be sinuses????Here is it very hot out, around 98 degrees and tomorrow its supposed to reach 100 degrees........Im freaking out right now because i have never had myi head feel this weird.....Anyone have this?? what hleps?Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Girl Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I had this all this past weekend with the humidity. I was even getting stomach cramps and diarrhea from the heat. All I can do is to take it easy, drink something cool and lie down in an airconditoned room. I think the headache part is related to the orthostatic imbalance. It IS really nasty.

MightyMouse Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Those are typical POTS and/or NCS symptoms when placed in a hot environment. -Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 like nina said this isn't unusual with temps of that degree. in fact it's not all that uncommon even in folks that DON'T have autonomic dysfunction when it's so very hot & humid, especially if low on hydration. make sure you're keeping up lots of fluids of course, but other than that just try to stay inside as much as possible until the worst of the heat passes. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
