Heat Exhaustion Symptoms: Causes, Risks & Treatment

Heat exhaustion occurs when your body loses too much water and electrolytes, usually through sweating. Symptoms include:

- Fatigue

- Headache

- Dizziness or fainting

- High body temperature (104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher)

- Rapid pulse

- Fast breathing

- Nausea or vomiting

- Muscle cramps

- Dark urine or infrequent urination

- Pale or clammy skin

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke, a more serious condition that can be fatal.
