During hot and humid days, it’s not uncommon to experience headaches, but some might be warning signs of more serious heat-related illness.
Common Causes of Heat-Related Headaches:
*Dehydration
*Heat exhaustion
*Prolonged sun exposure
*Physical activity in hot weather
What You Can Do:
*Drink plenty of water throughout the day
*Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning
*Wear a hat and light-colored, breathable clothing
*Replace electrolytes if sweating heavily
Watch for These Warning Signs:
*Throbbing headache that doesn’t improve with fluids or rest
*Dizziness, confusion, nausea, or fainting
*Rapid heartbeat or shallow breathing
*Hot, dry skin (even without sweating)
If these symptoms appear, it could be heat exhaustion or even heat stroke, which is a medical emergency. Don’t wait, call 911 or seek immediate medical care.
