  https://www.bcm.edu/news/recognizing-the-stages-of-heat-illness

  Heat illness comes in different stages, with heat stroke being the most severe and dangerous of them all. […] Conditions can range from mild discomfort to life threatening. Heat cramps are the initial sign of heat illness. Cramps and spasms will occur due to dehydration or an electrolyte imbalance, and if not attended to, can progress to heat exhaustion. During heat exhaustion, a person will experience fever, heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache or nausea. […] Without care, heat exhaustion progresses to heat stroke. Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s temperature rises rapidly above 104F and the body can no longer control its temperature and is unable to cool down. In serious cases, heat stroke can lead to seizures or loss of consciousness. Heatstroke requires emergency treatment.

• #3 Management of Heatstroke and Heat Exhaustion | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2005/0601/p2133.html/1000

  Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are part of a continuum of heat-related illness. Both are common and preventable conditions affecting diverse patients. Recent research has identified a cascade of inflammatory pathologic events that begins with mild heat exhaustion and, if uninterrupted, can lead eventually to multiorgan failure and death. Heat exhaustion is characterized by nonspecific symptoms such as malaise, headache, and nausea. Treatment involves monitoring the patient in a cool, shady environment and ensuring adequate hydration. Untreated heat exhaustion can progress to heatstroke, a much more serious illness involving central nervous system dysfunction such as delirium and coma. Other systemic effects, including rhabdomyolysis, hepatic failure, arrhythmias, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and even death, are not uncommon. Prompt recognition and immediate cooling through evaporation or full-body ice-water immersion are crucial.

• #4 What are the heat exhaustion and heatstroke symptoms?

  https://www.bbc.com/news/health-62120167

  During the hot weather, it can be easy to overheat. Environmental temperatures of 40C (104F) can make it difficult to keep the body at its ideal 37C. While heat exhaustion is not usually serious, as long as you can cool yourself down, heatstroke is a medical emergency. Heat exhaustion happens when your body becomes too hot and struggles to regulate its temperature. It can affect anyone, including fit and healthy people – especially if they are doing strenuous exercise in high temperatures or have been drinking alcohol in the sun all day. It can come on quickly, over minutes, or gradually, over hours. The symptoms you will feel are your body’s way of warning you to cool down, fast. An obvious sign is excessive sweating, as well as feeling very hot and unwell. Other symptoms include: headache, dizziness and confusion, loss of appetite and feeling sick, cramps in the arms, legs and stomach, fast breathing or pulse, temperature of 38C or above, being very thirsty. Young children, who might not be able to tell you about how they are feeling, may become floppy and sleepy. Heat exhaustion can turn into heatstroke, which is an emergency. It means your body can no longer manage the heat and your core temperature is rising too high. You should get urgent medical help. The signs to watch for and quickly act on: feeling unwell after 30 minutes of resting in a cool place and drinking plenty of water, not sweating even while feeling too hot, a temperature of 40C or above, fast breathing or shortness of breath, feeling confused, a fit (seizure), loss of consciousness, not responsive. Older adults and young infants, as well as people with long-term health conditions, are particularly at risk. The body’s ability to regulate its temperature is not fully developed in the young and may be reduced by illness, medications or other factors in older adults. Being overweight or obese may also make it harder to cool down. If they do not improve after 30 minutes of rest, and you think they may have heatstroke, you should get urgent medical help.

• #5 Recognizing symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke | HealthPartners Blog

  https://www.healthpartners.com/blog/how-fast-can-heatstroke-come-on/

  Heat exhaustion is a less severe condition than heat stroke. It often comes before heat stroke, but not always. Heat exhaustion happens when your body becomes fatigued from trying to cool itself down for extended periods of time. Two of the biggest contributing factors to heat exhaustion, aside from high temperatures, are high humidity and physical activity. […] The symptoms of heat exhaustion include: Muscle cramps, Headache, Nausea, Fatigue, Dizziness or confusion, Excessive sweating with cold, clammy skin. […] Heat stroke, also called sun stroke, occurs when your body can no longer sustain its physical responses to heat. Without its usual cooling methods, your body loses control of its internal temperature, which can shoot up to 103 degrees Fahrenheit in minutes. This causes the serious malfunction of several organ systems in your body, including your brain. Symptoms of heat stroke include: Hot, dry skin with an absence of sweating, Fast, shallow breathing, Rapid heart rate, Confusion, irritability or slurred speech, Poor balance, Lightheadedness or fainting, Loss of consciousness, Seizures (in severe cases). […] Heat stroke can set in quickly over the course of 10-15 minutes, or slowly, developing over several hours or days.

  https://www.fountainhillsaz.gov/913/Signs-Symptoms-of-Heat-Related-Illness

  Thirst: By the time your body tells you that you are thirsty, you are already mildly dehydrated. […] Heat Exhaustion: Heat exhaustion is less dangerous than heat stroke. It typically occurs when people exercise heavily or work in a warm, humid place where body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. Fluid loss causes blood flow to decrease in the vital organs, resulting in a form of shock. With heat exhaustion, sweat does not evaporate as it should, possibly because of high humidity or too many layers of clothing. As a result, the body is not cooled properly. Signals include cool, moist, pale, flushed or red skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; and exhaustion. Body temperature will be near normal. […] The signals of the next, more serious stage of a heat-related illness, often called heat exhaustion, include: Cool, moist, pale skin (the skin may be red right after physical activity). Headache. Dizziness and weakness or exhaustion. Nausea. The skin may or may not feel hot.

• #8 Heat exhaustion – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exhaustion

  Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness characterized by the body’s inability to effectively cool itself, typically occurring in high ambient temperatures or during intense physical exertion. In heat exhaustion, core body temperature ranges from 37 C to 40 C (98.6 F to 104 F). Symptoms include profuse sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, and lowered blood pressure, resulting from dehydration and serum electrolyte depletion. […] Untreated heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke, a life-threatening condition characterized by a core body temperature above 40 C (104 F) and central nervous system dysfunction. […] Common signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion can also be observed in other heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope, and heat stroke. […] Heat exhaustion is a precursor to heat stroke, a severe form of heat-related illness. Heat stroke is more likely than heat exhaustion to cause pallor, hot and dry skin, syncope, and dysfunction of the central nervous system (e.g., altered mental status, loss of spatial awareness, loss of bodily movement control, seizures, etc.).

  Symptoms of heat exhaustion are milder than those of heatstroke, and include dizziness, thirst, weakness, headache, and malaise. Patients with heat exhaustion lack the profound central nervous system derangement found in those with heatstroke. Their symptoms typically resolve promptly with proper hydration and cooling. […] Heatstroke is a much more severe entity than heat exhaustion. The diagnosis of heatstroke rests on two critical factors: hyperthermia and central nervous system dysfunction. Heat-stroke is a medical emergency, and mortality can approach 10 percent. It is essential that clinicians recognize the signs of heatstroke and initiate cooling rapidly. When appropriate treatment is provided without delay, survival can approach 100 percent. […] Physical manifestations of heatstroke include hot, dry skin, as peripheral vasoconstriction often is present. Signs of central nervous system dysfunction such as irritability, ataxia, and confusion are essential to the diagnosis of heatstroke. Coma and seizures may develop, and slow recovery of consciousness is indicative of a poor prognosis.

  Signs and symptoms with a * require immediate emergency medical treatment. […] Heat exhaustion occurs when fluids lost through sweating are not replaced. The body’s primary mechanism of cooling itself is through sweating. As sweat evaporates from the body, it takes body heat with it, cooling the body. If a person does not take in enough fluids, the body does not have what it needs to make adequate amounts of sweat. Heat exhaustion is often accompanied by dehydration. […] Also, humid environments and environments without good air circulation can make it difficult for the sweat to evaporate. Under these conditions, a person may develop heat exhaustion. […] Environmental temperatures that are greater than 100 F (38 C) increase risk. However, if someone is unaccustomed to labor or exercise in the heat, they can develop a heat-related illness at lower environmental temperatures. Other factors, such as humid air, inadequate fluid intake, heavy clothing and personal characteristics (e.g., the presence of certain medical conditions, taking certain medications and the person’s age, especially older adults and young children and infants) can increase the risk for heat-related illness.
