For me it’s the opposite I feel light headed if I’m in a warm stale house for too long I need the cool fresh air to feel like some oxygen is getting to my brain

No but I am used to extremely cold weather.

Light headedness or dizziness is an indicator of something not right in your body. Could be dehydration, low blood sugar, inner ear issues or low blood pressure. If this is not normal for you, make a GP appt ASAP to get to the bottom of it.

Keep snacks in the car and bottles of water. Always just have 5-10 minutes to put the aircon on and get yourself feeling warmed up. Do you have low iron ? X
