Hello dear,
The case history as mentioned in your post suggests that it might be due to Heat stroke and dehydration.
Management includes:
1. Drink lots of fluid
2. Maintain the electrolyte balance
3. Avoid working under direct sun
4. Take small breaks in between the work & wash exposed part of body with cold water
5. Avoid carbonated drinks & excess of tea, coffee, alcohol.
If symptoms still persist, kindly consult your physician to rule out other causes like:
1. Migraine
2. Cluster headache
3. Tension headache
4. Sinus headache (due to sinusitis)
5. Hormonal & Metabolic causes, etc.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
