Meds & the sun

I'm already aware to avoid the sun, especially since being on immunosuppressants after my transplant (6 years), and I've already had a few precancerous lesions removed. My question is does anyone else react badly to the heat? Even covered up completely or slathered with sunscreen, if I spend any time in the sun or heat of day, I get woozy and almost nauseous that lasts a few hours after coming indoors. I am really wiped out. Anybody else experience this?

Hi, did you ever get to the bottom of your issue with the heat?Was it in any way related to your medication?

Sorry you can’t enjoy the warmth of summer. No body reacts exactly the same, but, no, I enjoy the outside temps. Sleep comfort, however, did change. I very often wake up too hot in the early morning now. I am just finishing my third year of transplant.

Any update on this? What you described is exactly how I feel in the heat - woozy, nauseous, dizzy, exhausted. Even covered up. And even after only a short time in the heat/sun.

I am curious if this is just the way my body is post transplant or if it is the meds?
