To often feel ill/sick when the weather gets suddenly hot?!

No health issues, healthy weight, in fact I’d say I’m quite fit. But whenever the weather gets suddenly hot like today, I lose my appetite ( but still eat and drink plenty of water) and can sometimes feel hot, a bit sick and shaky.

Anyone else?

Why is that? It’s not like it’s desert-like conditions today - just a lot warmer than it has been.

OP have you spoken to your doctor about your heat intolerance? There are some conditions such as ms which cause it.

I have heat intolerance caused by a genetic condition. Causes my blood pressure to drop which makes me feel dizzy a lot. I also get fatigued and have blood sugar crashes. It's horrid.

I spend all summer trying to push through the symptoms and then in autumn/winter I'm absolutely fine.

I find electrolyte drinks/sachets help, adding more salt to my diet, eating little and often rather than large meals. I have fans all over the house to stay cool.

I’m the same @Suuudohnymautumn and winter is my happy place!

It’s the opposite for me. I feel so much healthier when the weather is warm. Just more alive and energised. I just want to nap all the time when it’s cool.
