Why do I feel dizzy after sunbathing?

People all yearn for a working environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer, but not everyone can work in such a place. Some people work in low mines, and some people work under the sun. Because of their majors, some college students can only work under the sun after graduation. People who work under the sun in the hot summer always feel dizzy. Why does sunbathing cause dizziness? Let’s learn about it together~

1. Consider heat stroke

Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause disorders in the body's temperature regulation function, which is commonly known as heatstroke. Symptoms of mild heatstroke include thirst, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, sweating, fatigue, weakness, nausea and vomiting, palpitations, dry red or pale face, lack of concentration, incoordination, normal or elevated body temperature, etc. Severe heatstroke includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which may cause confusion, convulsions and even shock.

2. Consider brain hypoxia

After being exposed to the sun for a long time, due to the high skin temperature, most of the blood flows to the skin, which can easily cause brain hypoxia and lead to headaches and dizziness. In addition, sunlight irritates the eyes, causing the pupils to shrink, and excessive sweating can also aggravate brain hypoxia and cause headaches and dizziness. In this case, go back to a cool place and rest for ten minutes and the condition will improve.

3. What to do if you have a headache or dizziness after sunbathing

Go back indoors to rest. If you feel dizzy after basking in the sun, go back to a cool room to rest immediately to prevent your metabolism from being too active and your body from being consumed too much, causing dizziness and headaches. Replenish water: After sunbathing, you will sweat a lot due to the increase in body temperature. At this time, you need to replenish water to prevent excessive water loss. If you sweat a lot, it is best to drink warm, light salt water, which can also replenish sodium and potassium and prevent electrolyte imbalance. Drink Huoxiang Zhengqi Water when necessary. If you have heatstroke and the symptoms are severe, it is best to go to the hospital and take Huoxiang Zhengqi Water or other medicines for treating heatstroke according to the doctor's instructions.

4. How to avoid dizziness and headaches when exposed to the sun

1) Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. Excessive exposure to the sun can not only damage the skin, but also easily cause heatstroke. It is generally recommended not to expose to the sun for more than 15 minutes in summer and no more than 30 minutes in winter.

2) Choose the right time to sunbathe. Noon is when ultraviolet rays are the strongest, and sunbathing at this time is most likely to cause heatstroke. It is generally recommended to sunbathe between 8:00 and 10:00 in the morning.

3) Moisturize before sun exposure. Before sunbathing, you need to hydrate your skin, apply moisturizing skin care products, and hydrate your body.
