Specializes in Podiatry

Headaches: After being in the sun and getting a painful headache, hydration is vital. Get lots of fluids like water and electrolytes to re-hydrate you as well as rest and healthy green vegetables!

Does heat exhaustion cause headaches and a faster pulse and heart rate (resting 90hpm - usually 65) the day after the episode? I fainted from being in the heat too long yesterday, and was ok after an hour of rest and rehydration?
