Get: Cool ASAP. It Can be a medical emergency if you don't get your core cool immediately. It could escalate to heat stroke. Rapidly. Then you have major issues. Get cool right away

Be careful: Drink plenty of water before and after exercise in the heat, use cold towels on the neck to cool down, stop if you feel dizzy, faint or nauseous heat illness is very dangerous

Heat exhaustion? Yesterday I was well hydrated, felt hot, had to rest to cool down a few times. Noticed I wasn't sweating. Dry armpits. This went on for hours. At the end I felt nausea. So I went to a cooler place. Today I feel fine and can sweat?
