4 fixes for... overheating

STAY IN THE COOL

Keep to shady places and drink plenty of water. Heat more often affects the over 60s or those with thyroid disease, diabetes or multiple sclerosis.

MANAGE STRESS

Stress makes the body alert to potential dangers, and this preparing for action causes sweating, feeling hot and

facial flushing.

CHECK FOR OTHER CONDITIONS

Fibromyalgia can affect how you respond to different temperatures. See fmauk.org

for information.

CHECK YOUR MEDS

Feeling hot can be caused by medications such as antibiotics, antivirals and

heart/blood pressure medicines. Speak to your GP.
