heat= nauseas

Funnily enough the nausea at times of heatwave was starting to be a common occurrence with me.

It transpired I was getting slightly dehydrated and had a low grade UTI . I have suffered fom them for forty odd years but sometimes they creep up on you before you realise what is happening.

I didn't have any other symptoms only the nausea especially in the morning and after I would drink. It all disappeared after a course of antibiotics. Now I try to drink gallons all the time during warm spells and also take cranberry capsules all the time.

It is so infuriating when they blame "anxiety" on everything these days!!!!

I would see your Gp just in case it is a UTI.

Hope it settles soon.x

Hello seanto...any kind of nausea is really nasty...I've tended to get nausea for all sorts of reasons...over 60+ years I've pretty much figured out the various triggers...in my case these can be anything from infection like cutty has mentioned, to flaring Dysautonomia, to the chronic gastritis immunology has proven is at least in part due to pockets of bacterial sepsis...and even heat.

Yes, a variety of anti-nausea meds etc can help in some cases (each addressing a different cause: PPIs, domperidone, Buccastem etc and now I know long term antibiotics also whack my bacterial sepsis nausea dead too), but meanwhile one home remedy above all else has reliably helped me survive my life of nausea: GINGER....I take ginger alongside my meds on a daily basis...my fav form is the fresh root: a fat finger, peeled & thinly sliced will brew a large pot full of strong ginger tea which can be decanted for chilling in the fridge. I let it brew for several hours so the tea is vvv strong ...and can be diluted like a squash. I don't add honey & lemon, but some do! Basically, I sip my ginger drink all day long & all year round: always soothes my nausea, whatever is causing it

Also, sometimes I find a spoonful of manuka honey: straight into the mouth & swallow! can help damp nausea down

The other thing I guess you'll already have looked at is: what meds you're on & what you've been eating before this nausea sets in...nausea simply is a side effect of some meds, which may flare in the heat even though most of the time you're ok. I find that too much caffeine, too much sugary food & fatty food especially trigger my versions of nausea....especially when it's hot

On the other hand, you're so wise to discuss this with your GP & consultant...this sort of heat-related nausea isn't to be sniffed at, any more than any other type of nausea!

Wishing you all the best

PS there are some vvvv effective individually ginger chews & hard pastilles called "GIN-GINS" made by The Ginger People:

I get mine from Amazon ...and take them along in my handbag: EVERYWHERE...just in case...I stick to the chews because the hard pastilles are more than my sensitive SS mouth can bear 😉😘

I go through phases where nausea can be triggered by heat. I haven't worked out why these come on and then cease. But at least it might help to know that you are not alone with this.

This was me last Thursday night, I literally couldn't move with nausea. I am convinced it was because of this recent heatwave and I'd been sitting in the sun. I try to drink ginger and lemon tea when it happens but in truth not much helps. Sometimes I resort to metaclopramide. I just want a plunge pool in my garden!!!

Hi....I don't really have any advice, other than stay out of the heat. Lol! Sorry. I have always had a terrible time with heat. I explain it that my thermostat in my body doesn't work properly. ( I think that is the hypothalamus' job) Never did. As a child, I use to get heat stroke and have a terrible time with summer. Thank God we have air conditioning now. I just hope I can afford my electric bill with this heatwave we are having here in the US as well. And, yes, while you try to hydrate like crazy, the nausea is still there in heat. I go outside in the evenings. Like Florida people do in the summer. Can't be outside for long in the day.

I know now that I can't go to summer festivals, concerts, etc in the heat of the day. Just can't do it anymore. Try to listen to your body, and work around the weather. Or maybe wear one of those water mister packs. Good luck.

I suffer terribly with nausea in the heat to the point that I actually start retching. It doesn't have to be sun related either, I even get it when I stay indoors in the summer.

The only thing I found that helped was carrying ice packs wherever I went and holding them on my wrists.

I also used those cooling mist sprays that you get in an aerosol tin.

We even went to the extreme of buying an air conditioning unit for our bedroom which is a godsend.

I turn into a recluse in the summer months, I shut the windows during the day to keep the hot air out and the cooler air in and draw the curtains to stop the sun shine warming up the room.

I must be one if the minority that hate the summer, roll on autumn.
