My husband is having a constant dull ache in his stomach. He says it feels like a pulled muscle, but doesnt subside when he is resting.  It has been extremely hot all week (100 degrees+) and he works outside.  Could  this be related to heat exhaustion, and what are the best methods to get the pain to subside?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. As per the history you have provided, your husband is having a dull ache in stomach, which he feels like a pulled muscle. The pain does not subside on resting. Yes, this can be due to heat exhaustion. The treatment would be: Plenty of oral fluids including fresh fruit juices, Oral Rely Chat Doctor.  Most important thing is he should stop working in the sun till he gets cured as the next working can make him serious. So no chances should be taken.
