5. Nausea and Vomiting

As the body overheats, nausea and vomiting can set in, often alongside dizziness. This is a sign of how much strain the body is under, and in severe cases heat stroke can damage the internal organs. Get the person out of the heat and begin cooling them. Don't try to give fluids to someone who is actively nauseous or vomiting, since it can lead to choking. Cooling the body is what addresses the underlying problem, and the nausea tends to ease as the temperature comes down.
