It's not at all extreme. It sounds like heat exhaustion.

See symptoms, all of which he described, here:

Water and salt depletion contribute to it. Yes, you do need salt in hot weather. It holds the water in your body which helps to cool it down. Salt free diets can kill you as well. I'd add electrolytes too.

I get those same symptoms here during Florida summers. I passed out two summers ago. Also, even though heat can make you feel like not eating, it's helpful to have regular meals instead of skipping or going without for long hours.

The electrolytes get rid of the nausea for me and the salt and regular water helps with the headaches and dizziness/lightheadedness.

Gatorade has too much sugar in it. I use these packets, keep some in my purse and pour some into a water bottle I keep with me in the car or purse when I am out and about.
