Idk if it's normal but every time I get into my car which is really hot because it's black leather inside which attracts the sun , I feel horrible like I can't breathe and I'm suffocating and I go into a huge panic. I have air condition but it doesn't get that cold so I feel that it's no help. I'm scared to even be in the car because I'm scared to suffocate and die. Not just in the car but just walking outside when it's 90 degrees or higher makes me feel horrible. But idk why heat makes me feel so bad because other people can work outside all day and they handle it . Why is it that I can't handle it? Is it possible to die from heat?

B.,

A lot of people don't do well in the heat. My daughters both really dislike it...especially my oldest who gets physically sick if she is overheated. My MIL also can get faint/dizzy/nauseous from overheating...

Heat exhaustion is real and can be dangerous...but staying hydrated and out of direct sun can prevent this from happening.

Can you get a good sun shade for your car...as well as rolling down the windows and starting the A/C before you have to drive off?

Drinking plenty of water, as well as eating foods high in water content such as fruits and vegetables will also keep you safely hydrated...even in higher temps.

I also like to keep a cool gel pack in the freezer...the type you'd put on an injury...just for laying on the back of my neck or chest when I am feeling overheated...instant relief. :)

Stay cool...the summer won't last forever. ;)

Think yourself lucky I live in Manchester and it's never hot lol sick of the rain I am pretty sure I am growing gills

Try and stay calm we all have situations we don't enjoy keep your mind busy and don't think of it to much

Hi

I hate the heat to as I can't function so know how you feel.

It sounds to me like your air conditioning is not working properly and needs recharged so take it along to your local garage it does not cost much to get i done and makes all the difference.
