I also get very sick with heat.. The sun, hott baths, ETc.... I get very lethargic, dizzy and feel like I could pass out. I have even had a low grade fever from the sun a couple of times.

The woodstove heat is very hot, and taking all the moisture out of the air. Therefore it is also dehydrating you, adding to your heat intolerance. Bad for people with breathing problems!!
I used a woodstove for 20 yrs and had similar problems, the first couple of yrs. Until and "old timer", shared this tip.
Two suggestions.First, if your stove has a flat top, get a large metal pail/bucket and fill it with water and place on the stove top. Make sure the bucket dosen't go dry. This will add moisture back into the air.
If your burning the stove really hot, you may have to add more water during the day as it will evaporate fast.
The second suggestion, is get a cool mist humidifier and run that all the time. This is really helpful for those with breathing problems.
I don't know if your new to using a woodstove or not. Please keep in mind, the wood sometimes has mold spores,fungus and bugs.I would suggest, not keeping much in the house at a time. Hope this helps.
