Heatstroke, a hidden danger caused by hot weather
During the summer or periods of extreme heat, our bodies undergo changes that affect internal systems. When temperatures rise beyond the body’s ability to adapt, it can lead to severe health conditions. One of the most dangerous conditions caused by excessive heat is Heatstroke
What is Heatstroke ?
Heat stroke occurs when the body can no longer regulate its temperature, causing it to rise above 40°C (104°F). This condition affects the nervous system and internal organs, leading to headaches, dizziness, confusion, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, seizures, or unconsciousness. If not treated immediately, heat stroke can result in shock or even death.
Warning Signs
If you notice these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately:
✅ Extremely high body temperature (above 40°C)
✅ Hot, dry skin with no sweating
✅ Rapid heartbeat, palpitations, and low blood pressure
✅ Dizzy, fainting, and confusion
✅ Nausea, vomiting, and fatigue
✅ Seizures or unconsciousness
How to Prevent
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strenuous activities in extreme heat.
- Wear lightweight, light-colored, breathable clothing.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
