Any tips for dealing with hot weather headaches?

It's not dehydration as I've drunk loads of water. Not sure what else to try but these annoying headaches happen every time it's warm.

Being outside, sweating, and then drinking loads of water can actually put your electrolytes out of balance, which can result in a headache. It dilutes the sodium, etc, you have left in your body. Try drinking a gatorade or adding an electrolyte power to your water bottle. It might help.

@LadyBronte thank you, that sounds worth a shot!

@LadyBronte You’re being modest. That’s exactly what to do 😉

Try magnesium, when you sweat you also loose a lot of minerals from your body. Magnesium is also good for cramps

Try a cool bath/shower... as close to cold as you can bear it - also check out the symptoms for heatstroke, because it sounds like you might be getting a mild case of that if it's not dehydration.

Could you have actually overdone it with too much water.

@mangomonkey if you really didn't go too far, your kidneys should be able to adjust.yiyr blood levels.

@samueltyler2 This is true - too much water can cause a headache....even confusion...

@fun4us2b we had a young man at army basic training that tried to pass his urine test/physical. He ended up having a seizure because of low serum sodium.

Turn on the AC and stay indoors.

@RedBaron we don't have AC, not many places here do
