    Sorry to hear this @Nicetomeetyou22, if you get concerned about the impact the heat is having on you you can always contact 111 for medical advice or your doctor. Take care and drink plenty of fluids, hopefully you feel better soon and of course we're always here for a chat :)

    Glad to hear you are looking after yourself @Nicetomeetyou22. Hydration and fans are really key in this heat.

    In addition to this, I recommend ice cream/ice lollies if you have not yet had any. Hopefully, the sleep will help as well  :)
