What are the symptoms of heat stroke

Question

Asked for Male, 39 Years

I am a 39 year old man and I recently experience a lot of black outs and fevers and chills. I first thought it was due to some physical weakness but now that I actually think about it, I feel it could be the result of heat stroke. What are the symptoms of heat stroke? If I feel that the symptoms kind of match with my condition, I’ll have to immediately check with a doctor. Thanks!
