Heat stroke can make you extremely dehydrated and weak for several days. Make sure to rest in a cool room and drink plenty of fluids.
I hope you are recovering well. Does a heat stroke also cause a continuous headache for a few days after, or should we see a doctor if that happens?
Your body has gone through intense heat stress, so please give it time to heal naturally. Stay positive, drink cooling coconut water, and rest under the shade. God willing, your strength will return soon.
I know how scary it feels when your body temperature shoots up and you feel dizzy and confused. It took me a week to stop worrying about going out in the sun again. Just give yourself permission to rest and hydrate without stressing.
It takes some time for the weakness and headache to go away completely. Keep resting, drink plenty of water, and consult a doctor if you don't feel better.

I once ignored the dizziness after being out in the June heat and ended up fainting and needing IV fluids at the hospital. Please don't take it lightly; if your weakness or vomiting doesn't stop, go get checked by a doctor.
After a heat stroke, your body's temperature regulation mechanism is sensitive for a few weeks. Avoid direct sun exposure, drink ORS or buttermilk, and if you feel dizzy or have a high fever again, visit a clinic immediately.
