I was working outside in the extreme heat yesterday, and I felt really dizzy and started vomiting. My friend told me I might have heat exhaustion. Is vomiting a symptom of heat exhaustion?

Yes, definitely it can be. When I used to run marathons, my coach always warned us about nausea and vomiting as a serious sign of overheating. Always hydrate well before, during, and after any activity, especially in this heat. If you're feeling unwell, better to take it easy and consult a doc.

Oh haan, totally yaar! Mere friend ko bhi hua tha last summer, vomiting ke saath dizziness bhi. Actually, any weird feeling like that when it's super hot means you need to cool down ASAP and drink water. Don't take chances, heatstroke is no joke.

Vomiting can certainly be a symptom, yes. For any health concern, it's always best to get a proper medical opinion. When I go to my family doctor at Apollo, I always make sure to list all my symptoms clearly. You should do the same and get it checked to be safe.

Haan, it can be. I once ignored feeling really sick and dizzy during summer, just thought it was normal tiredness. Ended up with a bad fever and feeling weak for days. Learnt my lesson. If you're vomiting, please don't ignore it, get yourself checked out by a doctor soon. Better safe than sorry.

Oh my God, I always worry about this too! Vomiting is usually a bad sign, no? If you're feeling this, please don't wait. Heat exhaustion can get very serious very quickly and even lead to heatstroke. Just make sure to rest in a cool place and drink ORS or water. And maybe see a doctor for peace of mind.

Yes, it can be, along with headache or feeling faint. Dehydration is a big factor. Make sure you are consuming enough fluids like coconut water, chaas, or just plain water. Also, eat light, hydrating foods like fruits and salads. Avoid heavy or oily foods which can make you feel worse in the heat. But if vomiting persists, do consult a doctor.
