Strange Feeling.

Yesterday late afternoon I was home with the AC set at 70 degrees... I started to feel really hot (upperbody and head). I took my shirt off to cool down (didn't help). Then I started to feel light headed and both arms felt weak and shaky. I stayed like this for about (6) minutes. Then it subsided and I  felt normal. Though soon after, I ended up with a headache. What could this be?

I've had this before, it's called "heat stroke". It's harmless like a hangover, unless you're stuck in a desert with no relief for hours. The headache is caused by dehydration. Make sure you drink lots on hot days. Take care, Laura

something disturbed your central nervous system, maybe a viral infection.

take note of the event and keep logging over the next weeks it can be very helpful.

CBC with ESR can possibly reveal indirect signs of infection.
