My 13-year-old daughter gets these symptoms of cholinergic urticaria, but if she doesn’t stop and cool off, it escalates to dizziness, nausea, lethargy, sometimes vomiting and eventually loss of consciousness.
Is it normal for these symptoms to become more severe?

Yes, cholinergic urticaria symptoms can get worse or better over time. It isn’t uncommon for people with severe cases to experience the symptoms you mentioned above. In that case, I’d personally avoid pushing myself too hard, and I’d definitely discuss an Epi-Pen with a doctor.
I hope your daughter feels better soon.
