Why Overheating When you giddy?

When a heat attack you, surely the body will feel hot and soon the sweat will wet the entire surface of the skin. According to research experts, the heat was not just cause effects on the body surface, but also affect the inside of your body.
According to Drs. Michael Bergeron, director of the National Institute for Athletes, Health, and Appearance in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, when the temperature around you starts to rise, the temperature inside the brain would be increased gradually. This is an explanation as to why people sometimes became giddy after lingering in the room-temperature or hot.
When the outside temperature is hot, the body will drain more blood to the vital organs to keep them functioning, including the skin, to help them become cold. This means the blood in your stomach a little, said Bergeron.
"Digestion is less prioritized, so that the blood vessels in our digestive system becomes limited. This is why you feel like not eating or drinking when out during hot weather, or why you feel sick if you eat, "he explained.
The solution is, you should eat foods that are easily digested, such as simple carbohydrates, and avoid foods high in protein or fat, which is difficult to digest. Ultimate solution of course is chugging fluids. Water or sports drinks are best. Avoid alcohol or caffeine, which can make you dehydrated.
In serious cases, the heat can also make you very sick. Disorders due to heat can be started from cramps, said Dr.. Janyce Sanford, Chief of Emergency Medicine at the University of Alabama Birmingham.

The most severe disease associated with the heat is heatstroke. "When you reach this point, extremely high body temperature that causes mental changes, dizziness and can eventually cause loss of consciousness," said Sanford.
"The muscles can begin to break down, causing kidney failure, this makes heatstroke become life-threatening diseases.
