Heat Exhaustion
People exposed to high temperatures for lengthy periods of time without adequate amounts of fluids may experience heat exhaustion, another symptom of fainting. Indications that someone has heat exhaustion include, pale skin, sweating, tiredness, weakness, dizziness and fainting, among others.
Stopping the activity that's causing the exhaustion and moving to a cooler environment can help someone recover from heat exhaustion. They should also rehydrate with water and other liquids, such as sports drinks.2‘Heat Exhaustion.’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heat-exhaustion/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20373253
