Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness that occurs when the body loses too much water and salt, often from prolonged exposure to high temperatures or vigorous exercise. Symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache, and nausea. It usually arises when fluid intake doesn't match the body's needs, leading to dehydration. While it is less severe than heat stroke, it can escalate if not addressed. Treatment involves moving to a cooler area, resting, and rehydrating with water or electrolyte solutions. If symptoms worsen, medical attention is necessary to prevent more serious complications.
