Heat Stroke Symptoms
4. No Sweat
Sweat is a normal part of outdoor living in the summer months, and most of the time, it is healthy. However, the way you sweat can indicate whether you are symptomatic of a heat-related illness, such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If you are exerting yourself on a hot day and sweating profusely, especially if you cannot stop, then you are showing signs of heat exhaustion, especially if your skin is cold and clammy.
Sweating with heat stroke will manifest in two ways. With classic heat stroke, the person will not be exerting themselves, they will experience a high body temperature, and they will not sweat. Alternatively, exertional heat stroke will come on with strenuous activity, high body temperature, and excessive sweating after the exertion has stopped. If you find that you are presenting with these symptoms, then it is necessary for you to move to a cool space and call for help.
