Meds that may make you more sensitive to heat include:
~ Anticholinergics
~ Antihistamines
~ Diuretics
~ ADHD stimulant meds
~ SSRIs

It's really important to keep this in mind as we head into a major heatwave.

Stay safe out there!

I want to mention *many* medications are anticholinergic and/or antihistamines, even if they're not used for that purpose. They include meds for overactive bladder, stomach cramps, nausea, antipsychotics and antidepressants, and lots more.

Thanks, Jaime! I didn't know this. I thought it was "just" the, you know, POTS, mastocytosis, etc.
