What are some signs/symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke?

I was working outside this weekend and it was around 98 degrees. I got really tired pretty quick and my skin was red and splotchy. I just wanted to know if these were signs of heat exhaustion. Thanks!

Symptoms could be absence of sweating, hot red flushed dry skin, difficulty breathing,confusion,agitation,nausea,vom... increased body tempt. If this occurs it is best to call 911. Get the person into a shaded area. Take as many of their clothes off as you can. If there is a water hose around then wet them down. If ice packs are available then put them under the arm pits and in the groin area. Get them some type of drink with electrolytes in it. If you have any avocado dip then try to get them to eat that, it is loaded with potassium. But make sure you call 911 if the person is lethargic.

Fever, trouble breathing. red spots on your face
