Now that its full blown heat wave season. I figure maybe we could use a thread about heat warnings or problems from the heat. I have a question about a friend of mine who recently was out in the heat for about 6 hours.
She hadn't eaten hardly anything all day and spends 6 hours outside doing physical things and then starts getting hot and dizzy and overheated and she drank water and was perspiring normally as one would do in the heat. And she took frequent pee breaks. She was battling a terrible headache all day. She started getting dizzy while out in the heat and seeing little white stars or floaters or something and feeling woozy.
By the time we were done, she's dizzy to the point of everything spinning and having to shut her eyes because she's going to get sick. Also everything around her started getting greyed out and looked like she was looking through fog. And she had a terrible headache and was on the verge of passing out or collapsing and then once she got home and can sit and lay down for a few minutes, eat a little bit of food, risking throwing it back up she started getting goosebumps, although hot in the house. She later weighs herself before going to bed and saw she had lost 7 pounds from the time she had woke up in the morning until the time she went to bed. My question is WTF was that all about? Is that heat frustration? Usually folks weigh more in the evenings versus when they first wake up. She seems fine today and rearing to go back outside. Was it the heat?
