For reliable medical advice look at the references below.
In the first article about heat stroke (sun stroke) you'll notice the word 'hyperthermia' which means overheated. don't confuse this with 'hypothermia' which is the opposite.
The second reference also mentions heat exhaustion.
Follow the links in the third reference to other sun and heat problems.

Sun Stroke or Heat Exhaustion are pretty much the same thing. It is when you have been out in the direct sun for too long you can become, dizzy, nausious, faint, cramp up, etc. To avoid this you can wear a hat with a wide brim, loose clothing, drink alot of water, avoid long periods in the direct sun.

Sun stoke is when you get overheated. If you start to see little black spots your about to have a stroke. Cool down as quick as possible. You need lots of fluids, switch off from water to Gatorade and back again. The Gatorade has lots of sodium which helps you sweat.

It happens when your body gets too hot, mainly because of dehydration. You would have to go into an environment above 50 degrees (centigrade) to really challenge your bodies ability to cope with heat. Anything below that you should be OK provided you have lots of water to drink. In the heat wave we're having in britain (not really a heat wave - just that we are not set up to cope with temperatures above 25 degrees and have innapropriate buildings, clothes, working practices etc) people would be well advised to drink a lot more water than they usually would and to wear loose-fitting, light clothes.

Its too much sun. If it happens to you, it helps to put ice on the inside of your elbow, on top of your head, and anyplace else where your blood comes close to your skin.
