last Saturday it was really hot outside and I did some work on the house that required allot of hammering with a heavy hammer; however, while using the hammer my arm became tired and my body was kind of weak as well. What really bothered me was the my thumb on both hands locked in a position that required my opposite hand to release. I had to pull my thumbs with the opposite hand so I just called it a day and took a long cold shower. Nonetheless, I had a terrible headache on the left side of my head all night long so I just ate some dinner and went to sleep. I felt a little better the next day and even better the day after. Being a diabetic I didn t want to take advantage of the fact that I may have experienced a heat stroke or worst yet a minor stroke. I ask a friend who had a few strokes in the past and she thinks that I may have experienced one myself. What is your outlook the episode that kind of scared me.
