Can overheating cause vomiting?
After playing cricket outside in the sun for a long time yesterday, I felt really hot and then started vomiting. My friends said it might be because I got too hot. Can overheating really cause you to vomit?

Yes, heat exhaustion can definitely trigger nausea and vomiting. If you've been traveling or working in the heat, sit in an AC room and sip ORS slowly. Don't push through it; take a break from work today.

Drinking a glass of buttermilk (chaas) or sweet lime juice can settle your stomach if you got overheated. However, if you are unable to keep any liquids down, please see a doctor immediately. Severe dehydration can happen very fast.

Oh man, standing near a hot barbecue or traveling in summer heat totally kills my appetite and makes me want to puke. Skip the spicy biryani and fried food for a couple of days. Stick to cold fruits and coconut water until your stomach settles.

I once ignored vomiting after a long day in the sun, thinking it was just heat. I ended up severely dehydrated and had to be hospitalized for IV fluids. Please don't wait if the vomiting continues; get yourself checked by a doctor.

Your body's thermoregulation can go haywire in extreme heat, which slows down digestion and causes nausea or vomiting. Use a hydration tracker app to make sure you are getting enough water and electrolytes. If your heart rate stays high, consult a doctor.

I totally get it, vomiting when you are already feeling hot and exhausted is the worst feeling ever. It completely drains your energy. Please rest under a fan, place a cool wet cloth on your forehead, and take it very easy.
