i've been drinking close to about 5 litres a day when it's hot.. like today..
feels like 40 degrees and humidity of about 200% now
and my airconditioner's broken down
i NEED to sleep but it's too hot and humid...

I have been getting mirgraine again recently aft many yrs.. Maybe because of recent weather...
Well, just have been resting these days -
if it's really migraine, it is due to the pressure on the brains from blood vessels dilating...
the docs will prescribe Cafegot.. which is pure caffeine...
if you really have migraine and not the normal headache, a couple of cups of strong coffee will help... they will constrict the blood vessels, easing the pressure -
Such irony...it's rather wet and chilly these few days here...call this British summer..

I found an interesting article today regarding Dehydration! Here's an extract :
A reliable clue to indicate dehydration is a rapid drop in weight. This loss may equal several pounds in a few days (or at times hours). A rapid drop of over 10% (fifteen pounds in a person weighing 150 pounds) is considered severe. Symptoms may be difficult to distinguish from those of the original illness, but in general, the following signs are suggestive of dehydration; increasing thirst, dry mouth, weakness or lightheadedness (particularly if worsening on standing), darkening of the urine, or a decrease in urination. Severe dehydration can lead to changes in the body's chemistry, kidney failure, and can even become life-threatening.
The best way to treat dehydration is to prevent it from occurring. If you suspect excessive fluid loss during and illness, your physician should be notified. Intravenous or oral fluid replacement may be needed, depending on severity of fluid loss. In the 1960's the World Health Organization (WHO) developed an oral solution containing sugar, which improved the absorption of salt/water preparations, saving the lives of many dehydrated persons in remote areas. This solution can be prepared at home by mixing the following:
Table Salt - 3/4 teaspoon
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Sugar -4 tablespoons
Orange juice - I cup
Water - I quart/liter
This beverage can be taken in small, frequent sips, and is often tolerated in the face of nausea and vomiting. Several commercial preparations are available, but since their composition varies, your physician should be contacted to decide which replacement solution (if any) is best. Changes in the type or amount of fluid replacement may be needed as symptoms improve. Care must be taken to avoid using these solutions improperly.
Food intake should be continued if at all possible, except for high fiber fruits and vegetables. There is controversy regarding ingesting milk products since the ability to absorb milk sugar (lactose) may be reduced. The prior policy of "bowel rest" seems to do more harm than good except in certain circumstances.

take it easy, the heat will go away. It is in the mind.

you sure?
the thermometer saying 35.3 degrees said different....Originally posted by kops21:take it easy, the heat will go away. It is in the mind. -
Eh... you're the delusional one if you say that the heat's all in the mind!!Originally posted by kops21:take it easy, the heat will go away. It is in the mind.
This 'it's all in the mind' cliche sounds like something Anthony Robbins would say!
So, should I go around telling all the ICU patients, 'Oi! Wake up already! You're not sick... it's all in your mind!!' -

ANd you're telling this to who?? You forget my profession.Originally posted by kops21:proper hydrate and enough care, heat stroke can be prevented.
And what were you talking about that made us talk about this... and now, you've gone totally off-tangent!
kops, sometimes, linear thinking is required, over the scattered shotgun style! -
Listen... Xin Jing or no Xin Jing, if I put you out under the hot, scorching, blazing sun, in the middle of a field, with absolutely no shelter in sight, you WILL get dehydrated! Nothing to do with whether your Xin is Jing or not!Originally posted by laurence82:Xin Jing Zi Ran Liang!
