Suggest Remedy For Dizziness, Nausea And Diarrhea

Hi, 2days ago i had what i thought to be a heat stroke, i walked around in 40°C weather and noticed the typical symptoms, i responded with seeking the shade and cooling myself off, however it hasnt gotten any better, temperatures here dropped to 30-35°C which is tolerable, and ive avoided the sun for a whole day now, however i still feel bad, i almost faint regularly, am dizzy, confused, nausea and slight diarrhoea, also slight tachycardia. Does this sound like a heat stroke? And is it possible to continue for 2days after treating myself like how a heat stroke should be treated? Thanks

Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Cooling your body with cold water will help you to prevent heat stroke. Dehydration either due to heat or diarrhoea causes tachycardia. Dehydration also causes electrolyte imbalance which may be the reason for your confused state of mind. Please drink plenty of water. Oral Rehydration solution will help to correct electrolyte imbalance. If you don't have one then add half spoon of sugar and salt and drink. After this you'll be fine.

I hope this helps.
If you have any other queries I'll be happy to help.

Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
