Nope, you can't be concerned with shock at that point because death is going to occur if you don't cool your core temp. It has to be rapid because you have to get the core temp below 104. This is where many healthcare professionals that don't work with heat patients get it wrong. Death>shock
Another option instead of a cold tub is to roll them onto a tarp and pour ice over the patient. Have two people hold the corners up to keep the ice directly on the patient. This is called the taco method. But full body ice water immersion is the gold standard used in the military and athletics.

Good to hear they got you leveled out.
I guess the one good thing I have going for me is that ever since I was little when I get to a certain point of hot the lights just go out. I've passed out four times in my life from being too hot, and all four once I came back to (only out a few seconds) I'm okay. I guess that's my body's reboot switch.
The first time it happened I was like ten years old, playing second base in the third inning on the back end of a double header in the middle of July. The world started fading, and the last thing I remember was taking my hat off and shaking my head. My Mom ran her fastest ever 40 yard dash from the bleachers to get to me, and almost beat the coaches to me.
That's scary shite, man.

I was wade fishing in salt water once about a mile from shore and had a freaking heat attack, I had a buddy with me but he was too far to hear me.
Every time I sat down the crabs would start trying to eat me.
I thought for sure it was my ending but slowly got my shite together and made it out, scared me for life.

I find it funny that you are too afraid to say what you think the "real reason" he got heat stroke.

I used to get exhausted with my head pounding etc. when I worked outside more than a couple of hours. I had a heart attack with 5 clogged vessels. Got bypassed and ever since then heat doesn't bother me near as much. Funny cause the first 40 years of my life it did.

Sorry you weak baw. Man up.

Tubs and tarps can be hard to find when/where it occurs. Until you can get to somewhere that is possible, remove shoes, hats, gloves, etc. use a wet towel to wrap ice around feet, neck, head and groin. Pour water over body and obviously get out of the sun.

You say this until it happens to you. It can be some scary shite

I haven't read through all 5 pages of replies but symptoms also sounds like hyponatremia (water intoxication). Where drinking too much water without anything while sweating a lot else reduces sodium levels in the blood to levels where your body can shut down. Can be a sign of reduced kidney function if it comes on this easily.

Good Sir, when are you going to return to my Estate and clean up this vomit of yours?

This is what I was told
This is true. I had head exhastion once about five years ago and it comes on faster now. I have some hot meetings coming up and I am going to pack a lot of gatorade etc.

clearly because he's a fat arse and doesn't do BJJ w/ decent cardio and is old and doesn't do 7 miles running in the hottest part of the day like the rest of the OT baws...duh.

Are you stupid or something? There are millions of people who work in the heat and they don't experience heat stroke. Therefore there has to be other variables combined with the heat to cause it.
Like others in this thread, I ran 8 miles yesterday at about 11am. It was hot, I was completely soaked, I drank about 6 oz of water during the run yet I had no symptoms of heat related problems. I was properly hydrated going into the run. Clearly the OP had some other issues contributing to his event.

No bullshite though, my wife and oldest daughter have both had heat exhaustion spells. We are out in the heat a lot for travel ball tournaments. We have learned our lesson, and I have become Mr hydration.
I used to be the beer drinking dad at the park but I just can't handle it anymore. See dads doing it out there with heat indexes over 100. Not me anymore, I may have a few drinks the night before but I shut it down and make sure to have 60 ounces of electrolyte water before bed. I wake up and have 60 more ounces.
I pack multiple coolers, have backup drinks in a cooler in the truck. Prime, Gatorade, propel electrolyte packs, water, and I'm now a sucker for La Croix sparkling water.
