How serious is heat exhaustion if you drink water soon enough?
ByIt started last night when I was at a football game. I started sweating profusely but didn’t get dizzy or sick. I drank some pop/soda and spent the night at somebody’s house. This morning I was riding a bike for a somewhat long distance and started to feel really sick. It is extremely hot outside and I didn’t eat or drink anything before going outside. I went inside a building and tried to cool off in the bathroom but I still felt dizzy and weak. I drank some water from a water fountain and bought a bottle Gatorade and drank the entire bottle. Now I’m in my air-conditioned house but I still feel shaky. I’m somewhere between hypoglycemia, anxiety, and heat exhaustion. I have been diagnosed with hypoglycemia and it is defininate that I have anxiety. Should I be okay now that I am indoors and hydrated?

Drink at regular intervals (if you can get rehydration drink mix to add to water then that would be good) and if things do not improve in 24 hours then you must seek medical advice
