Heat stroke is a result of heat exhaustion and usually consists of drowsiness and increased vomiting, whilst heat exhaustion can be treated before any symptoms occur.
The process of treating a casualty with heat exhaustion should be as follows;
Sit the person down in a cool place if possible
Give them a glass of water in the dilution of 2 tablespoons of salt to a litre of water; as this will help replace the salts that will have been lost because of dehydration.
The person should continue to stay out of hot atmospheres and also continue to drink fluids, preferably water.
Remove the casualty from the hot environment
You should always remove the patient form the hot environment.
