I forgot to mention: you should pick up some General Electric electrolyte powder to sip on. You've
likely lost a ton of electrolytes.
I dealt with heatstroke years ago, and it was brutal—constant instability, dizzy spells, I even blacked out once.
The worst part? It lasted nearly a full week. So, please don't worry too much; what you're feeling is much milder, and you'll bounce back soon. Just make sure you stay hydrated, and honestly, try to be a bit more careful next time. Don't overdo it in the sun, wear a hat, and always keep a bottle of water handy.
