Be extra careful in the heat

Remember that your meds may affect how you react to the heat.. It has been dangerously hot this week so I have been staying inside with the air conditioner on. Yesterday morning I went outside to trim back a plant. Didn't think I was outside that long and had a bottle of water next to me but I must have lost track of time. Felt horrible after I came in. I tried to take it easy and drink more water but couldn't get rid of the awful headache and cool off. Didn't sleep well and still feeling off this morning. So please be extra careful.

You’re so right about meds making you more sensitive to heat. Even having to walk a distance from the car to the store then back can wipe a person out. It doesn’t bither me a bother to stay inside. 😁

When I have to go out and run errands I take a bottle of electrolyte water with me. It helps a lot.

I was going to say electrolyte water is the way to go in this heat.
