View Full Version : Heat - humidity - and fainting
Phew - 27 degreees here today and I started to faint at work. Although not as hot as last week - our shop was stuffy and even the fans Ive bought didnt help except to cool me down. Ended up getting a head rush and seeing stars and feeling floor coming up to meet me and just grabbed a chair in time and then sat for half an hour with more water (already drunk 4 pints today). Got home ok but feel panicky coz this weather is supposed to continue for the next few weeks and theres no way I can cope in a stuffy busy shop like this - help - any ideas??
Love wenjoy x:(

Wenjoy, oh you're still suffering badly from this, i really feel for you.
I'm ok at work at the moment with the fans on, but they leave all the doors open, so if i'm lucky i can get a cool breeze as well.
Have you tried Magicool at all?? I bought some from Savers (brave going into the shop, but was desperate!!!) It's like air-conditioning in a can and it really cools you down. You just spray it all over you, down the back of the neck is nice!!!
I use it a lot waiting for the kids to come out of school and i find this help me alot. I really hope that the weather turns cooler for you soon, you sound like you're suffering really badly.
Take care.

Thanks Marie - I know it was cooler today but I think its also the humidity and lack of oxygen in the air if that makes sense.
I have the weekend to take things gently but it still frightens me this faint feeling.
Have a great weekend and we pray for clearer air!!!
Love wenjoy x
