tomtheman1234 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I am from the UK currently living in Phuket. About 3 days ago I started to feel very hot. I have been drinking more water than normal and taking Dioralyte and ibuprofen. Yesterday I went to the Chrmist/pharmacy to ask what was wrong and if I need to see a doctor. The lady in the chemist/pharmacy took my temperature and it was 36 point something. I forget what the actual temperature was. She said it’s normal temperature and that I did not have a virus. I just wonder what it is I have and how come I feel hot when I got a normal temperature. I get ill a lot in the UK with winter flu and winter colds and get throat infection sometime. I been ill a few times in Asia before but never in Phukrt. Maybe I just not meant to be in Asia where is can be easy to get illnesses. Maybe I just have a weakness in my body maybe I have a weak immune system. Any info would be good. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Do you cool down if you have a cool shower or go for a swim? Link to post Share on other sites

basil67 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Then it's probably simply the weather or humidity. Link to post Share on other sites
Author tomtheman1234 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Any idea how long it will last as I had it for about 3 days now? Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 You should just go have your blood pressure checked and be sure it's not high, and your pulse. It can be vascular things, especially once you're older. I get hot in my legs and feet just about every night no matter how cold it is in the room. But yes, do have your vital signs just checked.

basil67 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Any idea how long it will last as I had it for about 3 days now? Has the weather been extra hot or humid for the last three days? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Do I need to go see a doctor for that? Tom, this is a little like asking us to guess how tall you are. Hard to do from this side on the Internet. I've gotten healthcare in various parts of Asia, by Western standards it's remarkably inexpensive. Spend a few quid, get yourself checked out...

whichwayisup Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Get some blood work done and vitals checked too. Drink plenty of liquids and eat fruit. If you're not hungry eat light (toast, soup, potatoes etc). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
