What is a medical certificate for heat exhaustion?
A medical certificate for heat exhaustion is a document from a doctor that records the heat exhaustion symptoms you reported and the doctor's advice on rest from work or study. The certificate reflects the opinion of the doctor after your consultation.
DrCertificate does not diagnose, treat or prescribe. The platform connects you with an independent doctor, and that doctor decides what goes on the certificate.
For heat exhaustion, the Sick Leave option usually applies, and the same option covers a general medical certificate. The Work From Home option suits a person who can work but should stay out of the heat for a while.
Employers, universities and schools are the usual recipients.
Which kinds of heat exhaustion can a doctor consider online?
A doctor on DrCertificate can consider heat exhaustion that has settled with rest, fluids and cooling, where you are now well enough to describe your symptoms in a chat. Each case is reviewed on its own details.
Heat exhaustion usually shows up in one of the patterns listed here.
The doctor decides whether you need rest and for how long, based on what you share in the consultation. No set number of days is promised, and a request may result in no certificate at all.
Heat illness with fainting, confusion or symptoms that have not eased is not suitable for a chat consultation and needs in person care.
Exertional heat exhaustion
Comes on after outdoor work, sport or a long walk in hot, humid weather.
Heat exhaustion during a heatwave
Builds up in hot rooms, crowded commutes or homes without cooling.
Water depletion
Follows heavy sweating without drinking enough, often with strong thirst and headache.
Salt depletion
Follows heavy sweating replaced with plain water only, often with cramps, nausea and weakness.
What should you tell the doctor about your heat exhaustion?
Tell the doctor what you felt, when it began and how it changed after cooling down. Clear details help the doctor decide.
Share accurate leave dates, because the doctor checks that your dates match your symptoms.
Symptoms
Headache, dizziness or nausea, and whether you had cramps or heavy sweating.
Timing and severity
The date it started, how long it lasted and how bad it felt, plus whether cooling helped.
Records you already have
Any clinic notes or temperature readings taken at the time.
Leave requested
The days you want the doctor to consider for time off or home working.
When is heat exhaustion not suitable for an online certificate?
Heat exhaustion is not suitable for an online certificate when it shows signs of heatstroke or does not ease with cooling. The NHS says a person with heat exhaustion who is moved to a cool place, given water and cooled should start to cool down and feel better within 30 minutes.
Call your local emergency number straight away if a person shows any of the signs listed.
DrCertificate is only for suitable non emergency situations and does not diagnose, treat or prescribe.
The doctor may decline any request that is not suitable for chat.
- No improvement Still unwell after 30 minutes of resting in a cool place, being cooled and drinking fluids.
- Very high temperature A body temperature that stays very high.
- Confusion Confused, disorientated or not making sense.
- Seizure or collapse A seizure or loss of consciousness.
Which certificate should you choose for heat exhaustion?
Choose the form option that matches what you need the certificate to show. The doctor still decides whether your situation fits.

|---|---|---|
| Sick Leave | You need time off work or classes after heat exhaustion | Also used for a general medical certificate |
| Work From Home | You can work but want to avoid outdoor heat or a hot commute while you rest | The doctor decides if home working fits your case |
| Unfit to Travel | Heat exhaustion affected a planned trip or flight | Covers unfit to fly requests |

What happens if the doctor does not issue a certificate for heat exhaustion?
If the doctor does not issue a certificate, you do not receive one and your payment is not refunded. Issuing is the independent decision of the doctor who reviews your request.
Doctors decline about 2% of requests. The usual reasons are wrong details, for example a name that does not match the ID, or symptoms and details that are inconsistent. A doctor may also decline heat illness that needs in person care, or a case where the symptoms have not settled and a chat is not enough to judge what is going on.
The only refund exception is a verified technical fault reported within 24 hours.

Questions about medical certificates for heat exhaustion
Yes, you can describe any clinic notes, temperature readings or test results you already have when you fill in the form. Heat exhaustion is usually judged on symptoms, so reports are not required. Any records you share give the doctor more to go on when deciding whether to issue a certificate.
The doctor decides the leave period, if any, after the consultation. In most Southeast Asian countries, sick leave and work from home notes go up to 7 days for generic symptoms. The NHS says heat exhaustion should start to ease within 30 minutes of cooling, so the period a doctor considers reasonable may be short.
Acceptance is decided by your employer, school or university, not by DrCertificate. All doctors on the platform are registered with a medical council. Check with your HR team or institution that online medical notes are accepted before you apply, because payments are non refundable.
No, DrCertificate does not offer video or in person consultations. The doctor reviews your request through a digital chat consultation only. If your heat exhaustion needs a physical examination, visit a clinic or hospital instead of applying online. A clinic visit is the right choice for any symptom that has not settled.
Stop the online application and get urgent medical care. The NHS advises emergency care for a person still unwell after 30 minutes of resting somewhere cool, being cooled and drinking fluids, or for a very high temperature, confusion, a seizure or loss of consciousness. Call your local emergency number.
Approved certificates usually arrive by email as a PDF in about 30 minutes. The timing depends on the doctor's review of your request. For fitness cases, doctors are available 9 am to 9 pm IST Monday to Saturday and 10 am to 8 pm IST on Sunday.
