I have the same problem with headaches and nausea after sun exposure. Still haven't managed to solve the problem completely, but I have found some things that help: Sunglasses make a big difference, and I've found that the polarized type help more because they reflect a lot of the light away from my eyes. Wearing a wide brimmed sun hat and white or light colored clothing to protect my skin also seems to help. I wear a high SPF sunscreen, which seems to at least lessen my immediate symptoms. Like someone else mentioned, I also try to find shade whenever I can't avoid being outside. Generally, when I have stayed in the shade even on very hot days, I haven't gotten the normal headaches and nausea symptoms. But again, I haven't solved the problem completely. I'll keep reading this thread to see if anyone comes up with other things that help.
