hi, the exposure to extreme high temperature will lead to the series of problems like heat exhaustion/heat cramps/heat syncope etc.. you seems to have heat exhaution. the treatment is rehydration and rest.. if you have skin rashes, take local antibiotics. get one electrolyte test done, and correction to be made based on the report by the physician. take lots of water. all the very best.
