Default Headaches

[QUOTE=marvinh11791;2347127]Hello. I am not a villager at this point, but I am considering it. I am still a New Yorker living on Long Island. I am now 78 and I am noticing even New York summers are causing me some headaches and some dizzyness. This gives me some concern. I'm not asking for doctor's advice. Just some opinions from villagers who might experience some headaches in the florida summertime heat. Or ways you deal with the heat. Thanks. Marvin

What you describe is called Cluster Headaches. The two main triggers are heat and alcohol. My 78 yr old husband gets these headaches. He now rarely drinks alcohol & we have found that "Pedialyte Sport" (found at Walmart & Target) is a godsend for hydration when he is out in the heat, i.e. playing golf or yard work. As others have said hydration is one of the keys for FL summers. We both drink a large glass of water or diluted juice through out the day. Watch out for sugary drinks & caffeine in the summer heat.
