What to Do After Symptoms Improve
Help your body recover fully and prevent symptoms from coming back.
Rest and Stay Cool
Give your body time to recover. Stay in a cool, air-conditioned space and avoid heat exposure for at least 24 hours.
Ease Back Into Activity
Return to normal activity slowly. Start with light activity and stop if symptoms return.
Keep Hydrating
Continue drinking water and electrolytes to replace fluids lost during heat exposure.

Never stop taking medications without talking to your provider first. Some over-the-counter medications, such as antihistamines, stimulants, and medications that affect sweating, thirst, blood pressure, or alertness may also increase heat risk.
Reminder: Insulin and many medications should not be left in a hot car or in direct sunlight.
