A member asked:

Is heat exhaustion when you don't have enough sweat to cool you?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Basically yes.: Heat exhaustion occurs when a person exercises or works in a hot environment and sweating cannot dissipate the heat generated within the body. Often dehydration occurs because the person hasn't replaced the water lost by sweating.
