Diagnose me please, not sure if heat related

[MegGriffin]

I have a fast heart rate (for me) 100bpm. I have been hot all daylike everyone but now feel cold. Temperature 38.3, banging headache, cold hands and feet. I have a blood pressure machine and and its 155/89. I spent an hour in the shade from 1-2 pm (work in a school) but otherwise have been indoors. Any ideas would be great. I have just taken ibuprofen as this has come on quite quickly.

Temp 38.6 now

Sounds like heat exhaustion maybe? Lots of water and cool yourself with damp cloths etc.

Thanks genome, I am wondering if thats what it is.

Could be an infection coming on too. Hope you feel better soon

Get yourself cooled down and rehydrated then you should feel much better!

Thanks fanjo. I cant believe this is happening two days before I break up. I have been off already nearly 5 months this term with a back op and i had d&v about three weeks ago with two days off. I cant bear the thought of having to ring in sick tomorrow... Have taken paracetamol as well now, hope that helps. I appreciate your replies.

will do genome.

I used to teach in an upstairs room with a wall of windows and no blinds The temp got into the 90sCelsius by mid afternoon and I felt like you describe. Lay a wet cloth around your neck and put your head under the cold tap . Run the cold water over your wrists and keep your feet in a basin of cold water....Heat stroke is dangerous .

Thanks armarmai, schools are ridiculously hot and of course we are always busy.
