I try and fan myself off with my hands. If I’m able to I take layers off but otherwise just try and take it easy. I find when I’m hot any source of air flow tends to calm my nerves

ah sadly once you’re hot you can only do but so much. When you’re cold, you can do things to warm up. When you’re hot, your options dwindle. I don’t do a lot of things in fear I’ll over heat. Just try to stay next to a source of air, stay in areas that you know are cool, and don’t wear heavy clothing

I try to dress weather appropriate knowing how my condition effects me. I also drink lots of cold water. That helps to cool your body from the inside out. Staying hydrated also helps with palpitations and nausea.
