A member asked:

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?

A member asked:

Does heat exhaustion cause headaches and a faster pulse and heart rate (resting 90hpm - usually 65) the day after the episode? I fainted from being in the heat too long yesterday, and was ok after an hour of rest and rehydration?

A member asked:

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?
