Withing 45 minutes of finishing eating, while home; I was having stomach pains --- Couldn't go to bathroom, but felt nauseous & sick....eventually threw up 5 times in a row & literally 20 seconds after first occurrence; I had a SEVERE headace on top of head, sides & also forhead --- Very Severe ....Stomach was 70% better; but headache was killing me for 1+ hours & then finally started subsiding. Didn't feel better (95%) for over 4 hours; but exhausted basically.... Thoughts -- Heat Exhaustion ??

HI.
Thanks for your query.Yes, this looks to be due to heat exhaustion.
Due to increased core temperature of the body all the system do get altered response. The Homeostasis ( natural body mechanism to balance the body against such challenges) gets disturbed and one gets , what you suffered from.

In such conditions to reduce the core temperature is very important and one gets only symptomatic treatment. Maintaining the hydration is also of utmost importance.
