What do i have? is it heat exhaustion?

all of today and yesterday i was out in the sun at the lake and i used sun screen but on the 3 hour car ride home i was still in my wet swim suit and the windows were down so i was freezing and i had very bad sunburns so i was burning up, there was a lot of traffic so it ended up being about 4 hours in the car and by the time i got home i couldnt even stand up, i took a cool bath and drank a lot of water and felt a little better but still... im dizzy, my stomach really really hurts, and my hearts beating a little fast?? help? and by the way everyone in my house is sleeping so i cant get any sports drinks and i hate hospitals, so say that i should see a doctor as much as you want but i wont go... is there anything that could help?
Answer:
Yes, you are pretty severely dehydrated. You are right so far, you need to continue to sip cool water - but you also need to eat a light meal to replenish your electrolytes. Feel better.
HEY TERRA, SOUNDS LIKE YOU OVER EXPOSED IN THE SUN AND LITTLE BIT OF HEAT STROKE I AM NO DOCTOR BUT GOING TO DOCTOR MIGHT JUST BE YOUR ANSWER.....YOU MIGHT NEED SOME IV FLUIDS THIS IS NOTHING TO PLAY AROUND WITH AT ANY AGE. I DO NOT LIKE TO SEE DRS. EITHER,BUT SOME TIMES IT IS NESS
Hello dear!By now I suppose (and wish) all is back to normal! Most likely you will feel somehow itchy, your skin feels stretching, have a little skin pain, fell a little hot and dizzy, but it is all fine, now! Drink liquids (not coffee and tee, no sugar (cola, etc.)).
Have fruits and vegetables. In the medium and long run you are excelling! Enjoy!
