As the heart beats faster, more energy is needed for the body to accommodate the extra workload the heart is producing. As the body uses the energy for bodily functions, some energy is also released as heat in the form of sweat. At a certain point, the fluids needed to produce the sweat deplete, causing dehydration. Because the body doesn’t have an effective way to release the heat, the heat accumulates and produces a rise in body temperature.
