My son is having the same issue. He's had it for about 7 years (since he was 5 years old). He is a very active boy otherwise and we have had to encourage him in sports/activities in the cold weather. He now thrives in ice hockey and snow skiing. He wanted to play soccer again this spring (hasn't played in three years) and we allowed him, but since starting, whenever the weather is hot we notice he's having the overheating and headaches and vomiting (like a migraine) again. He just can't get cool enough. This is also a problem at school in gym class or recess on the hottest of days. The drs. have always said this is just dehydration, but we plan to look into it a bit more. He has never liked drinking Gatorade, but perhaps there is something he needs and we will push him to drink a replacement drink like that again going forward--I do think salt has something to do with it. Thank you for all of your suggestions above!
