Heat Exhaustion Recognition
Heat exhaustion recognition spots weakness, nausea, and heavy sweating in hot exercise—cool, rehydrate with electrolytes, and escalate if confusion appears.
Heat exhaustion recognition means spotting heavy sweating with weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, and elevated heart rate—often still with sweat present, unlike advanced heat stroke. It follows hard or long sessions in heat and humidity when fluid and sodium lag.
Move to shade, loosen clothing, sip electrolyte fluids, and cool skin with water or fans. Seek urgent care if vomiting persists or mental status worsens.
Common questions
-
Can you still sweat with heat exhaustion?
Often yes—profuse sweating with fatigue is common. Cessation of sweating with hot dry skin and confusion suggests heat stroke; call emergency services.
