[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't acclimate to it. I just spent a week with someone who is most comfortable with the thermostat at 80 and they put it down to 74 for me. I am comfortable at 65, so was uncomfortable for the entire visit.

I overheat and pass out and take about 10-12 hours to recover. All I can do is keep the blinds down, windows open, fans on and bowls of ice in front of fans. [/quote]

PP with the teen who can't tolerate heat. You should consult a doctor too, PP. My teen has passed out in heat, and feels very fatigued afterwards as well. But her new symptom is that now she can't breathe if she exercises even very moderately in any warm-ish conditions. She was diagnosed with asthma, but we want to refine the diagnosis, because the last time it happened it was 75F (!) and she was complaining of being way too hot. [/quote]

Since my mom was the same way, and my brother is similar (though not as severe) doctors don't really think there's anything to be done. (It hurts when I do this. Then don't do that.) I know when my brother went to Europe in the summer he only stayed at places with AC. [/quote]
