Heat stroke symptoms that happen often

July of 2010, I had a bad and assume heat stroke. I was sitting outside watching a game of softball. I had drunk a bottle of water before I went and had a bottle of gatorade while I was there. All of a sudden, I didn't feel good at all. I told my friend I had to leave. She looked at me and said I was beat red. By the time I got back to my truck, I was very dizzy and starting to blackout. My friend said I was walking like I was drunk. When I got to my truck, I had completely blacked out, it was like I went blind. I was vomiting when my friend made it to me and shaky. She told me I was then very pale. She turned on the truck and turned on the AC. Since then I have been having issues almost identical to this one. I haven't been blacking out but now my brain acts delayed. I tell my leg to move but I notice there is a delay in moving. It's like my brain is slow. My head starts hurting, my stomach get extremely upset. Now it has to be like 70ish or I have an episode really quick.  My body aches, I start having memory problems (I forget little things, which is unlike me), my body temp rises, and I am very weak Since my last bad episode, 2 weeks ago, I can't get my temp below 101, it's been 102 - 103.4. Before the episode my normal was 97.5. I haven't been able to get rid of my headache from one of these in months. My brain still like it skips thoughts or something. Almost like it's shorts out for a moment. So far I can't get into a neurologist until July 16th but I am hoping to find some type of relieve until then. These episodes only happen when I get hot but that could be in the middle of winter cleaning in my office. I have to stay very cool ac is set on 64 or lower. So it's not like they only happen when it's 95+ outside. Does anyone have any ideas? Any advise at all? I live in OK, so I am somewhat use to being hot, we have summer of over 100. I am 32 yrs old, 5'3 230lbs so a little over weight. I have other medical problems but nothing like this. Any help or advice anyone could give me would be much appreciated.

I have seen my primary care doctor already and just finished antibiotics so I don't think I have an infection but plan on calling her back to see if I could get a blood work up and maybe a CT scan until I can see the neurologist. I have major stomach issues anyway so stomach pain is not uncommon for me but whatever is happening to me, makes my existing stomach problems much worse. Thank you for your response as I am up for any advice. I do have some medical issues anyway so I am use to figuring out things myself so trying to do that until I can get to the neuro.

Fever that has lasted 2 weeks sounds like an infection. You say you have stomach pain? You may have food poisoning or some other GI infection.

Please go see your doctor ASAP!
