heat and nausea

The day before yesterday was like 99 degrees and soo humid!! i felt kind of nauseous because it was so hot and disgusting outside. but then i got to thinking, is this normal? i was wondering if maybe it was a symptom of lupus and whether or not other people also feel sick when it is really hot out (not just in the sun)...

I also get nausea when I am in the heat or get too hot. When in the sun I get a rash, headache, fatigue and nausea.

I am another that cannot tolerate the heat. When its very hot my appetite is really decreased. But worse it just wears me out completely.

With this heat wave my hubby went down and bought a window air conditioner for our bedroom. It has helped so much.

We moved from Florida where everyone has central air.. to Montana into a 110 year old home. I wasn't used to going through the summers without air! I sleep much better now that the conditioner is installed.

Try taking some fresh ginger root and chopping it up. You can use as much as you like. Then boil it on the stove in a couple cups of water to get it really strong. Then let that cool and pour over ice into a pitcher, then fill the pitcher up the rest of the way. If you like a sweet drink you can add some sugar when it is boiling to make a sweet ginger syrup.

Drinking ginger REALLY helps with my nausea (I have migraines and so much nausea) drinking it iced might help you cool off.

wow glad that there there are other people who have these symptoms too...i thought i was all in my imagination but i definitely feel so drained in the heat. my boyfriend put an air conditioner in our room so it helped a lot and now the weather has cooled down. it was so strange though, because the other day when it was reaaally hot out i checked my temperature and i even had a low grade fever.

ginger ale is a great idea tho. whenever i was sick in the hospital i always drank ginger ale or sprite....

I have the same problem with the heat and humidity.  Bad headaches, nausea and makes me feel very weak and exhausted.  You are not alone in this.    I don't remember ever experiencing this many bad symptoms from heat last Summer even.  This is the first Summer where I have really noticed these kind of reactions.  I used to sleep through the Summer nights with a fan on and I was fine, now I turned the AC on in like early May and haven't turned it off since.  The heat here in St. Louis is making me want to move to Alaska right now.  I'm also suffering through hot flashes the past few months so the heat is even more miserable.
