Seizures
Seizures are a rare but serious complication of heat stroke, caused by an electrical disturbance in the brain. Seizures can cause muscle contractions, and loss of consciousness, and can even be life-threatening. Muscle cramps are another common symptom of heat stroke, caused by electrolyte imbalances and dehydration.
Preventing heat stroke is the best way to avoid its symptoms. Staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day, and wearing light, loose clothing can all help prevent heat stroke. It is also important to avoid strenuous activity during hot weather and to take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
If you suspect someone has a heat stroke, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Heat stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment, and delaying treatment can lead to serious complications.
Cooling the body down by moving the person to a cooler environment, removing excess clothing, and applying cool, wet clothes to the skin can help lower the body temperature.
In conclusion, heat stroke is a serious medical condition that should not be taken lightly.
