This was AFTER I both finished the hike and went home to drink plenty of water and have a meal. I don't know how high it was. My face only felt really warm, and I think I was a bit forgetful. Later, my legs started cramping and I got a bit of a headache (by now, the fever had gone), but that could be because I haven't exercised in a while. Yes, I drank little water during the hike. I'm fine now, BTW, except for the sore legs.
So . . . did I have heat exhaustion or a heat stroke or what? I didn't have any symptoms beyond what I mentioned. Should I be worried?
To Kingman: Well, I've read that symptoms vary among people, and some people will experience confusion or hallucinations (stuff like that) instead of coma.
