Signs of Heat Exhaustion
1. Bathroom Issues
Heat exhaustion can have a negative effect on the digestive system and urinary tract. For example, it is not uncommon for people experiencing heat exhaustion to exhibit diarrhea and vomiting. Vomiting can occur because of muscle spasms in the abdomen and headaches or light-headedness. Also, urine output might appear darker in color because of dehydration. While these symptoms are signs of heat exhaustion, they are also representative of severe dehydration.
During the hot summer months, it is crucial to stay hydrated and protected when you are outdoors. Try to limit exposure to the sun and keep a bottle of water on you at all times. Fluid consumption is vital during warmer seasons because your body loses water as energy is burned off, which happens more often in the summer months.
