My boyfriend has been getting dizzy and sick to his stomach lately because he doesn't sweat like he should. He does a lot of manual labor outside for the railroad all day long and the only sweat that produces is from his hard hat. Other than that he's completely dry (we live in Georgia so it's pretty warm down here during the day). He drinks like a fish so he stays hydrated (and that's not referring to alchohol, lol). Are there any causes that would make it to where he wouldn't sweat like he should?
He has been to his doctor and when the results came back he was told to go to an endocrinologist.

Like I said above: he drinks like a fish. 10 bottles of water while at work and if I had a nickel for every time I get up and make him something to drink at home, I'd be a millionaire.

I would have to say just make an appointment with the endocrinologist becuase he may have something really wrong with him.

I would increase the amount of fluid he is taking in dramatically . Drink alot of 100 % juices have him drink pedia lite instead of Gatorade and tons and tons of water . Even if you can get him to drink the vitiam water that will help to . Also do what the doctor suggested .

Make that appointment with an endocrinologist right away. Clearly there is a problem that needs evaluation.
