The Heat Wave

Amanda Ross10 said:Great description... that’s exactly that awful feeling.
Just waiting to collapse somewhere.
My blood pressure gets so low I feel heavy all over, like I'm carrying a 200-pound weight on my back.
Yesterday afternoon I thought I was actually going to pass out. I could barely walk, felt like I couldn't catch my breath, nauseous, dizzy...

wearygardener19 said:I've had a terrible headache for 2 or 3 days now. Everything feels shaky and swaying, plus this nausea... then I suddenly break out in a sweat and feel so weak I think I'll drop at any second, followed by sudden chills/fever, then heat waves, then sweating, and just total exhaustion... ugh 👎 And it isn't the flu; it happens whenever the weather shifts. Like, when the wind turns cold and gusty on Tuesday, I know a nasty migraine is coming. Aaaa 👎
When it's humid and warm, my head just aches and feels heavy, but when that cold front hits, it turns into a full-on migraine. They switch fast, there's no peace.🤷

My head hurts, I can't sleep, I feel weak, I'm crashing, I can't keep my balance, I'm covered in cold sweat, my ears are ringing, and I can't breathe.
It feels like the sky is so low it might fall on my head at any moment. I can't focus on anything.

That's exactly how I feel too. It's gross. I loathe these humid stretches from the bottom of my soul. On top of everything else, my muscles and joints ache too.👎

driftinggull21 said:The heatwaves absolutely wreck me. I get these brutal migraines, and on top of that, my blood pressure tends to drop, so along with the headache, I feel totally drained. Everything gets dizzy, my vision starts blacking out, and I end up stumbling around like a drunk—constantly bumping my shoulders into doorframes.

It’s like she’s reading my mind...
I still haven't found a reliable way to deal with this issue. Nothing seems to work for me, whether it's drinking extra fluids, staying active, or anything else I try.
The moment I see a heatwave forecast on the news, I already start feeling under the weather...it makes me wonder if there's a psychological component to these symptoms as well.🤷

Ugh, this Southern heat is absolutely killing me!! 😠
I can’t even sleep properly, my mood is totally trashed, I have zero motivation, I just want to crawl under the covers and pass out... but I can't!
And don't even get me started on the buses and subways... I step on, collapse, step on, collapse. Okay, maybe it's not *that* dramatic, but still...
Not sure if you guys are feeling this too. 🤷 I haven't really dealt with any headaches yet, but honestly, that's probably just because I don't have a mountain of homework or have to sprint from one side of the city to the other...👎
I'm just not feeling school or anything else right now, I seriously have zero energy... If it were up to me, I'd just hide in bed and binge movies all day 😁
What are you guys doing to stay sane in this weather?

I still haven't found a reliable way to manage this issue. Nothing seems to work, whether it's staying hydrated, physical exercise, or anything else.
The moment I hear a warm front is moving in, I start feeling unwell. I'm beginning to suspect there might be a psychological component involved...🤷

As soon as I feel a headache coming on, I take 600 mg of ibuprofen, and if it's particularly severe before bed, I'll take some Xanax. I make sure to drink plenty of water and eat something salty.
Regarding the mental aspect, migraines are often linked to neurotic personality types.😬

Today doesn't even feel like a real day, more like some kind of 🙂
fever dream.

God, I know the feeling... honestly, I ended up in the ER today because my blood pressure spiked and my head was absolutely pounding... and then, just a moment ago, I saw the forecast saying it might drop to 60 degrees this Monday, and I just... oh boy.

My blood pressure is tanking, and I am officially out of commission... I just want to curl up and nap all day like a lazy house cat.😢

Man, I totally feel your pain. Honestly, my head has been absolutely splitting for two days straight now, and my blood pressure keeps dipping below 90—I’m basically a zombie at this point. I can't get anything done...🙂
