Question by CreatingMyself: I was just on vacation and was in the heat all day. I couldn’t think of what a “net” was and kept calling it a
“map.” I knew it was wrong, and even walked over and picked up the fishing net, but couldn’t get to the word in my mind. I became really frightened! I’m only 43 and don’t have Alzheimer’s. My husband thinks it was heat stroke, as I’d only drank Diet Pepsi all day and am not accustomed to the heat and sun for that long of a period of time. I was pretty sunburned as well. My daughter thinks it was an anxiety or panic attack. I’m worried. Also, I’d slept poorly the two nights before that happened and was really tired. Does anyone know something about the effects of heat and whether this could have caused my thinking/speech problem? Thanks for your help.

I agree with your husband–too much sun, not enough hydration. If it happens to you again when you are in a cooler environment THEN I’d be a little concerned.
Give your answer to this question below!
I’m only 40 and last fall I called leaves – words.. there were leaves all over the driveway and I said, wow, look at all those words all over the driveway…
I think it’s just a combination of the heat, lack of sleep and probably other things too.
Although it could be all that pot I used to smoke too.
hmmmm.
yes it sounds like a heat stroke, i wouldn’t get too worried unless it happens again without the situation u just described, if ur really worried maybe u should call ur doctor and see what he has to say
it could be a mild stroke, heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehidration…ask your doctor. He may want to run some tests on you.
My first question is, How long have you been ingesting Aspartame? (Nutrasweet) as in DIET drinks?
I suggest you do massive research on the toxicity and side effects of this chemical.
Yes of course it could have been all of the sun and the lack of water, and good nutrition.
I wouldn’t worry much until it becomes a habit.
Lack of sleep and too much sun and too many diet sodas will make your brain very fuzzy.
yeah you just were too hot. it happens when you are not properly hydrated and when you have heat stroke. Just drink water when you are in the sun and you should be fine. Wear a hat too that should help.
Just stress-If you forget that you have a husband, then you have something to worry about.
Of course, if you are looking for serious medical information from yahoo answers, then maybe you should get looked at.
