Question:
Are there in permanent effects after suffering heat exhaustion? If so, are they treatable or abe to be cured?
I suffered heat exhaustion almost two years ago. Since then, I have developed an extreme sensitivity to heat. Even in the winter I find I have to turn the heat down to keep from getting too hot. This especially happens at night while I sleep, and I wake up with night sweats frequently. I do take a daily mulitivitamin which seems to help some and I work hard to stay hydrated, but even if I get a little dehydrated, I begin to get uncomfortably warm.
Answers:
I can't seem to find any documentation but It seems that I heard if you had heat exhaustion once, it would be easier to get it again especially during the first few months following the initial problem

Your prognosis is related to the severity of your heat exposure and your general medical condition. The very young and the very old have the worst outcomes. In general, the prognosis with heat exhaustion is excellent, with full recovery expected. However, with heat stroke, permanent nerve, heart, liver, or kidney problems can occur.
