My SIL used to get an allergic reaction to the sun coming through the windows in the morning. I know allergies can affect your stomach. I also knew someone that would get cold sores from the sunshine. If it's not an allergic reaction, it just might be dehydration. We think we drink enough fluids throughout the day, but you'd be surprised how much you need in this heat.

So, what was the temperature indoors versus out? I find that I get sick if the differential is too great and I go to a hot outside from a super cool space.

My family calls it sun sickness. I can't handle direct sun for very long and have to retreat pretty quickly. Humidity makes it worse. I don't get the quesy stomach although one of my aunts has told me she does.

I can get nauseated in bright sun. Also can get a headache in bright sun. Can get one or the other, or both. The nausea can be strong, but the headache is on the mild side. I don't have to be hot for either of those to happen. This has been all my life, even as a child.

Thanks, all. Good point about hydration, maybe I should be sure to drink enough water. Today is warm, but not bad. Partly cloudy. The AC is not on in the house, but windows are open — maybe 75 deg F.. I’m one of those people who have a hard time in heat and humidity. But today isn’t ll that hoy and the humidity is not high.

I’ll try mote water. No hives or itching.

I feel awful for those people stuck in horribly hot temperatures — in US, but England, Europe, India, China, Africa, And so many have no place in which to cool off.

Thanks again for your helpful feed back, Good ideas for me to conssider.

My thought was that people who had traces of Dracul genetics may be more predisposed to such symptoms under the Sun. (Just …kidding…)

For me, I feel like I’m drunk under hot blazing Sun, especially without a wide rim hat.

Are you taking a medicine that reacts with sunlight? Check with your pharmacy.

With me...sunglasses. The rays can be distorted when I wear cheap, non-optical quality lenses. It makes be queasy.

Thanks, Kathy, MDLN and Nicole. Good points and I will follow up. Pee color is good, pale yellow.

I have some good polarizing shades, but I need lots of light to see well, so don’t wear them. Weat brimmed hat h\instead, but maybe I can find shades that llow more light. Good point.

As a former sun goddess (lol) who sunbathed for 40 years, these days I literally hate sunny days. I am like many of my generation who worshipped the sun and slathered themselves with baby oil to get the most overall golden tan . I started in April and ended in October every year. Now of course my generation is paying the price. So far, knock wood, I have had no skin cancers but have sun damage. I try to avoid being out in the sun now which is why I like my daily hikes on the AT because it's mostly wooded. I do feel slightly nauseous if I'm in direct sun for more than a few minutes. I wish that would have been the case all those years ago.

You may also want to pay attention to what you eat or do not eat for about an hour before going into the sun.

For me it is bright sun and also lighting in Walmart and other big box stores. I get a queasy stomach feeling, and a swimmy light headed. feeling. I feel fine before entering the stores, but I have to shop while looking downward at the floor. I read to wear a hat, but have never thought to carry one.

i have this condition during hot summer weather. I tend to stay dehydrated. It seems the sun is getting brighter than it used to be. Also, I have always been overly sensitive to glare and bright lights in stores. I can relate to what HU described above and I've had that for decades. For the above reasons, I just cannot eat much in hot weather, barely 2 meals a day.
