Heat Exhaustion? Anyone else feel like this?

[balletmoo]

Hello all,

I just wondered if anyone else feels like this?

Over the last couple of weeks, I've really been struggling. I'm totally shattered - in a "recovering from flu" kind of way. I've struggled into work - often at lunchtime, and working till the evening, but on Friday, I nearly passed out after 4 hours in a boiling hot meeting room with no aircon and I finally took yesterday off. I'm still at home today although I feel like I should struggle in later this afternoon in an attempt to sort out some urgent issues. But all I want to do is sleep!

I feel really guilty, although work have been great about it.

But is this heat exhaustion after all that really hot weather? Or should I be getting checked for something else??

Has anyone else struggled with this?

Thanks!

I am struggling quite a bit too - feel so tired...

If I work from home and at weekends I don't feel so bad, but I then a) don't have to get up so early and b) can sit in the garden for some fresh air plus my house is quite cool.

I find it is horrendous at work, no windows open so often really muggy and so I start by feeling tired and a bit nauseous, but then feel worse and worse as the day goes on. If I pop outside I feel better after 10 mins, but then just bad again once I get back in to work again!

You have my full sympathy... as to whether you should be checked out? How do you feel in places that are well ventilated and/or cool? If you feel better then, then most likely just overheated at work!

Hope you feel better soon x
