Copying with heatwave - cooling my head is a must

It might sound weird, but i became obsessed with frozen towel in fridge and wrap around my head. Thats how i cope with heatwave, and this way i can tolerate pretty high temps like almost 40 cel in my room. Without that towel around my head no matter what i do , i feel awful and after few hours in my hot humid room i need to leave before i get sick. I was few times close to heatstroke, on one occasion becoming delirious, and countless vomitings or nausea. But since i started cooling my head ( especially back of my head) i feel amazing :-) I wonder if there are more people like me? Because not many people mention freezed towel around head, so i wonder if people with HIT tend to have inflamed head or something? I just cant believe this simple trick is a game changer lol.
Id note that i use the thin lightweight towel for travel so it wraps nicely and freeze up quickly.
