A member asked:
After suffering heat exhaustion, is it normal to not be able to hold any liquids down for 4 or more hours afterwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That is why often people that suffer from heat exhaustion have to receive fluid through an iv. With dehydration your organs can partially shut down and fluids are not tolerated but in small amounts.

You are more sensitive to heat for a week after heat exhaustion. So during that time, can simple activities that normally wouldn't give you heat exhaustion, such as taking a shower, give you another heat exhaustion?
