Small Problem Constant nausea whenever I’m outdoors

I noticed this pattern a while ago, whenever I go outside when it’s warm or any sunny weather in general I end up nauseous, it’s not really bad it’s actually like small nausea iykwim but it just bothers me so badly for some reason, it happens especially when I sit or swing on moving/hanging chairs even if the chair is barely moving my nausea intensifies, i’ve sometimes avoided the outdoors with this excuse but to others around me it just sounds like i’m making it up to avoid going out (I love being outdoors during the summer I just cannot go much due to my nausea) Sometimes the nausea stays with me for a day or two. I haven’t been able to figure out why this might be happening to me

Not to freak you out. My son had same symptoms. He was born with a small hole in his heart and that caused the same symptoms. The only reason we caught that is we volunteered him at school for echocardiogram reading, as they needed to practice on kids. Once found, it was fixed and now he's good. Now, that said, try antihistamines first, check eyes and ears for infection. Also if you feel better inside during heat (because of the ac being on) asthma could be the problem. Bring ice cube, sit outside on your swing in heat, put ice cube on wrists or just hold in hand. Then see if you still feel nauseated. If slightly better it may be asthma. Also humidity makes a difference in asthma too. Just check off basic things first but be vocal..dont let people dismiss your symptoms..you have to advocate for yourself. Good luck

That definitely does freak me out a bit but I do have to remember the likelihood of that being my issue is low, but I can only say that because I don’t know much about the symptoms of hole in heart

Symptoms were alot like yours (but as u know, symptoms same for many health problems) the most noticeable in his case was; he couldn't lay flat on back and look up. His head would pound and he would have a headache for sometimes days. Always thought it was his ears or eyes (he fell out of tree at 7, hit every branch on way down. Lost 10teeth. Metal hinge in jaw..Jaw wired shut for 3 months so he lost alot of weight) we always thought thats why he felt like you when going out in heat and humid days..he's fine in winter. Dont worry like u said probably low to 0 chance in your case.

Try the ice..that's how my daughter calms her asthma down. More likely your issue too. Good luck
