I have a similar reaction to overheating, though not quite as drastic as yours. I've learned to handle it by spending way too much money on UnderArmour "HeatGear" compression t-shirts.
There are other brands of compression tees with similar properties, and they work just as well as the UAHG. It's just a matter of seeking them out in sports stores.
Since I have no hair to wick away sweat and heat, I also wear a skullcap made of a similar compression fabric. My favorite such cap is made by a company called Zensah. There is a slightly cheaper brand of similar product called Headsweats which I also use. In the gym, I wear such a cap covered up by a thin knit cap (such as those made by Bula) to absorb the extra sweat so I don't fling head-generated moisture over everything around me.
These two items--heat-wicking shirt and cap--I wear when square (or contra) dancing, at the gym, or selling beverages for charity at a street fair. Doing so has substantially improved my quality of life since it prevents me from having what could best be described as a minor heatstroke.
