Heat Intolerance

When I'm in the heat I get dizzy and I start getting hot faced and like a few has said I start getting anxiety over it out of nowhere. I have high BP and on meds as well never had that til I started going through the change I think the anxiety hits me cause I can't escape the heat inside of my body. My worst times is during cycle and ovulation week which I never really have a break at all

Yes,  I only started experiencing this recently and I am 59.  Can't stand this heat ans humidity!!!!

 

I live in central Texas and gets gets very hot here in the summer. I've never really enjoyed the extreme heat of July and August but it never stopped me from doing things before. Last summer I was feeling too sick to do much of anything, so I didn't go out except to Dr appointments or early morning walks to burn off anxiety. This summer, I feel much better but the heat is really bothering me! I can no longer go for my long walks and even sitting outside in the shade feels miserable and I can't tolerate it for long. I get so hot so fast and start sweating all over! Then, I'll get extremely tired- like I've just done a whole afternoon of yard work in the heat! Sometimes I feel like I'm having difficulty getting a full breath of air. I've decided to stop chastising myself for not being able to tolerate the heat and therefore I'm doing no real exercise. I've always been fit and exercised regularly, so this part of it is really hard for me. ** I also have a frozen shoulder which makes it impossible for me to do any type strength training with my upper body and I found out the hard way even running bleachers or box jumps require a mobile shoulder. So I'm stuck doing calf presses and lunges inside with air conditioning. I can't wait for cooler weather! In Austin, that could be the end of September- mid October! 

I live in Atlantic Canada, this summer we had a heat wave for over a month, it was around 40 degrees Celsius with humidity. I could only go outside if I was swimming, had to get my son to tend to the garden. Had a cooler week last week, but this week the tempature has gone back up.

I agree the heat makes me feel dizzy and sick and even cranky. It's like Im stuck in a hot flash that never ends.

I'm sure I'm the only one that can't wait until October air hits, heck Im looking forward to snow.

We live in the Deep South so heat is all o have ever known and I hate the cold!! My daughter has dysautonomia that is an electrolyte imbalance issues causing  heat intolerance. There are several different blends of powder to mix and drink along with natural recipes with fruit. Yes, hormones may be the initial cause but other methods may help lessen the symptoms. 

I had this when Peri kicked in 11 years ago I would get in the car and have to go back in and literally change clothes as could not even stand a pair of jeans . Since moved to a cooler climate and it’s so much better. 

Just today I was standing in line in the full sun-I’m in Southern California-and it wasn’t super hot but warm. But the heat just overwhelmed me. And I started sweating profusely and though I might have a panic attack! I had to really concentrate to calm myself down internally so my friend had no idea! Ugh. This is def a new thing for me.
