Can Heat Intolerance Be Related To Endo?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

With the start of summer and warmer weather I've noticed I've been in more pain than usual. Not surprising for me, but what is kinda worrysome is how bad my heat intolerance has gotten. I'm finding myself being very dizzy after mere minutes outside. Anybody else get this or have any advice or anything?

What is POTS?

Yes. It may be useful to ask your doctor to test you for POTS. Many women have multiple inflammatory and autoimmune conditions concurrently: it seems that having one predisposes you to have others. POTS has a lot of varied symptoms and two of the major ones are feeling faint and heat intolerance.

So interesting to hear this… i used to looove the heat and noticed last summer and already this summer I also feel like I can’t tolerate it. Endo symptoms flared up majorly last spring after going off the pill to TTC and I was wondering if the new heat intolerance was linked to hormones / endo. I havent had dizziness connected to it specifically, but I think it is quite common to get dizziness and postural hypotension with endo. Sorry I’m not of any help, but just wanted to comment and see if anyone else has something to say on this also!

Hey! I have personally not experienced this and don’t know anyone with Endo who does either. I have however known lots of people who get dizzy from heat and don’t have endometriosis. Might not be related. Did you ask your doctor yet? Sorry I can’t be of more help but sending a big hug!
