Doctors say the symptoms of heat exhaustion can sneak up on you, so you should recognize the signs your body gives you.
"The basic thing for people need to look out for is just being thirsty. That's one of the telltale signs of getting dehydrated," said Kowalski.
"Their skin will be either dry and red or cool and clammy. Generally, they'll feel nauseous, dizzy, lightheaded," he said."The patient starts to become confused or maybe they lose consciousness," Valente said while describing symptoms of heat stroke. "You get woozy from the heat and you start to have difficulty with your balance or ability to move, you could potentially fall," said Shah.
"I started getting into coconut water," he said, adding that he also drinks water with a dash of salt in it as a way to replace what he loses through sweat.
