Answer:

Miguel is suffering from heat stroke.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heatstroke is a kind of hyperthermia which occurs due to prolonged high-temperature exposure or intense physical activity in high temperature. This condition is the most serious form of heat injury in which the body temperature can reach very high about 104 degrees Celcius.

The other symptoms include confusion, vomiting, nausea, red and hot dry skin, very high heart rate, light-headedness, crams, etc. This condition can be fatal if proper treatment is given at the time to the person who got heatstroke. Therefore the correct answer is heatstroke.
