Has anyone ever heard of a persistent fever after heat stroke or heat exhaustion?
I had one of the two on wednesday (hospital papers say heatstroke, unclear if it was severe enough for that) and heat exhaustion again on sunday and since, my head has been just boiling.
My body temperature is fine or even a little cold, the hospital cooled me down with plenty of cool IV fluid each time, but my circulation has been weak as fuck and my face has just been burning up.
Anyone any ideas, please?

@amberage@eldritch.cafe It has been years since I had my bout of heatstroke, but I recall the stress on my body lasted for a couple of weeks after. I had to be VERY careful to stay out of heat and kept having trouble regulating my temperature. Did you stop sweating during the first incident? That's a sign of heatstroke. I ended up in an ice bath for an hour, and didn't feel even slightly cold. Like others, I recommend seeking medical attention if you continue to have symptoms. Too dangerous to mess with.
