If you’re concerned about how your medications might affect your ability to handle the heat, Dr. Judith recommended consulting with your doctor to better understand your personal risk. “Talk to your doctor about overheating as a symptom of your medications, especially when doctors prescribe new or multiple medications, so you are aware of drug interactions that may increase the chance of overheating.”
“If you have other medical conditions such as seizures, low blood pressure, or cardiac arrhythmia, discuss this with your doctor, as there may be interactions between your psychiatric medications and your medical medications. Additionally, your pre-existing health conditions may make you more prone to overheat.”
