Should The ER Be Visited For Excessive Sweating And Dizziness?

Hi my husband thinks he may have been experiencing a heat stroke at work around 1:00. He left early and came home and his tempature is now 99.8 at 5:28. He said he was sweating profusely then stopped sweating, he was dizzy and mind was slow, nausea no vomiting and headache. He says he is fine but Ilaying in bed, should I make him go to hospital to be seen?
