You probably have sun poisoning or heatstroke. With the symptoms you have described, you should either see your doctor or go to an ER. PLEASE don't drive yourself. Have someone else take you or call an ambulance. You will need IV rehydration and an antibiotic ointment for the burn. Don't put anything on the burn until you have seen a doctor. Wear loose fitting clothes and drink a lot of water. Don't wait...please go now.

Hm. I've had a super bad sunburn...I don't remember if I've had poison ivy but I do recall having poison oak once (also bad). What's really bad is when you get a super bad sunburn (the kind where your skin is almost gelatinous), and then you go camping, realizing that you pitched your tent in a patch of poison ivy. Add the sebaceous sores to the fried skin and you look like a second cousin to Freddy Kruger. I'm going to say that the poison ivy is worse. You win! Tell Mr. Sunburn to stop his bitchin' or you'll rub your infected areas on him. Hahaha.

You do not have sun stroke! Sun stroke is 99% fatal and rarely occurs. You probably have heat exhaustion along with a first or second degree sun burn.
This can cause many of the symptoms you have. You need to go and see your Dr.
My personal experience with sun burn also included a reaction to a sun screen I was using and it almost landed me in the hospital. I was swollen from my toes to my hips and ended up on 3 different meds.
See your Dr. and make sure you are drinking a lot of fluids to keep you hydrated.

If you are experiencing the signs you should see a doctor. But don't put anything on it in case the doctor has to scrape it off. Tell the doctor exactly what you said here the more information you can provide the better.

I agree with the first answer. Sun poisoning. Have someone else drive you to the doctor or hospital.

You have sunstroke from the sounds of it . You are dehydrated and need lots and lots of fluids. Don't ignore this it can be VERY serious.

Umm...Yeah!
Definately go to the doctor, you could have sun and/or heat stroke, if not worse. Not something you want to mess with.
