Overdid it today
Spent the entire afternoon power washing my downstairs concrete patio, upstairs deck and siding. About 5 hours in I started feeling dizzy. Next thing I remember is a hot paramedic asking me how I felt.
Apparently the sun became too much and according to my daughter I passed out, vomited and had a seizure. Not sure what order. I've never had any health problems. Perfect health my entire life, rarely ever even get sick. This scared the shit out of me. (figuratively) |

Don't lie. Literally, too.
In all seriousness, hope you're alright, bud. |

5 years ago I got heat exhaustion down in Florida, playing golf and drinking beer instead of water. $5000 lesson by the time I was done. |

You are lucky you didn't have a sun stroke or maybe you did and just didn''t know it. My father years ago had a sun stroke and didn't realize it till much later. That day he just felt sick, nauseas, dizzy and severe chills for the next 24-48hrs. From that day on he could never handle any kind of heat outside. Hopefully your paramedics/doctors have ruled that out.

I spent 7 hours down in my shop yesterday cleaning and organizing after three hours of spraying the yard and house. It was over a 100 in there but I drank plenty of water and gatorade. I started feeling some early signs of cramping about lunch time and came up to the house and cooled off while eating lunch. No issues other than it was hotter than shit. |

See symptoms, all of which he described, here: https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exerci...t-exhaustion#1 Water and salt depletion contribute to it. Yes, you do need salt in hot weather. It holds the water in your body which helps to cool it down. Salt free diets can kill you as well. I'd add electrolytes too. I get those same symptoms here during Florida summers. I passed out two summers ago. Also, even though heat can make you feel like not eating, it's helpful to have regular meals instead of skipping or going without for long hours. The electrolytes get rid of the nausea for me and the salt and regular water helps with the headaches and dizziness/lightheadedness. Gatorade has too much sugar in it. I use these packets, keep some in my purse and pour some into a water bottle I keep with me in the car or purse when I am out and about. ![]()

Yeah, I use the Nuun Active Electrolyte Drink Tablets, Lemon+Lime tablets in Florida as well. I also have pure water and some G2 Gatorade on hot days when I am out working in the fields all day. It really does help.
And take lots and lots of breaks.
