Hello,
You may be getting dehydrated. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids when you are working in very hot spaces. If it continues, see your doctor for a blood pressure check and some blood tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
