Heat intolerance

Not to be confused with Heat stroke.

Heat intolerance is a symptom characterized by feeling overheated in warm environments or when the surrounding environment's temperature rises.[1] Typically, the person feels uncomfortably hot and sweats excessively.

Compared to heat illnesses like heatstroke, heat intolerance is usually a symptom of endocrine disorders, drugs, or other medical conditions, rather than the result of too much exercise or hot, humid weather.
