Have had heat stress many timed at the races. Had heat stroke twice. That is nothing to play with. Second one doc said the more you get that the less tolerant you get to heat. Pretty sure I got a little mild heat stress last week at work. Clammy, kinda cool feeling, not sweating much. Went inside and sat down in front of the open fridge and had a couple glasses of water. Started feeling better, about that time the boss walks in and says why is the fridge open? Well captain, because your A/C in this building SUCKS and I am having a little heat stress, trying to cool off. Luckily he understood. Actual air temp 104 and heat index 117. In 2012 I believe it was, I saw heat index over 120 for about a week straight and no a/c in that shop at all. Just a port-a-cool which is a joke in humid air like we have here.

I think the doc is right because I'm a lot less tolerant than I was when I was in my 20's and 30's.

Observed a guy suffering from heat stroke. This was on a remote location in a second world country. The ambulance took hours to get there. There was a guy under both arms and he could barely navigate, again, after sever hours waiting in A/C. As you said, nothing to play with.
