Has anybody else had this?

Headache and pressure in head, very tired and no energy, feeling sick etc.

Hoping its just the heat instead of a bug 😬

Sounds like you might be dehydrated x

My eldest (age 7) felt like this during the red alert week inside his classroom, so I kept him off and was able to keep him much cooler at home. He needed physically cooling with fans and cool baths in a way school simply could not accommodate. He loves school, but was so relieved to feel cooler and then better at home. I am extremely concerned about this weather returning next year after how badly it affected my son (also many of his friends).

i hope you feel better soon.

Yes I have been. I’ve been making sure I drink loads of water/eat properly etc but it’s definitely been affecting me that way (for weeks, so def not a bug)

You need to drink a lot more water than you realise. Literally just keep drinking. It’s the only way to not overheat.

tiredness yes, but every heatwave I always feel super achy. Like I’ve done 2 marathons consecutively.

Yes, when the temperature gets to a certain point (~35°) I start to feel sick and unwell.

Yep. Had the same thing for the last week. I was pretty positive it was because I’m not drinking enough. Roll on autumn !
