Yes you can die from heat stroke. It is one step past heat exhaustion. You no longer sweat, can be chilled, and become light headed and dizzy. You need fluid intake and your body temperature needs to be brought down. Call an ambulance an go to the hospital.

I think part of the heat stoke issue is dehydration and yes, you can die from it. I believe a fast heart rate, heat intolerance, fatigue and feeling "faint" are some issues. Drink lots of water and call your doctor.
