When your body temperature rises above 104 degrees Fahrenheit , you risk dying from eatstroke. Most of the time, it comes from working too hard in hot, humid conditions. Confusion, seizures, or unconsciousness are all possible signs. Heatstroke can result in organ failure, coma, or death if left untreated.

Types of heatstroke:

Exertional heatstroke: Physical overexertion in hot, humid conditions typically causes this type of heatstroke. It can grow in a matter of hours.

Non-exertional heatstroke: This type of heatstroke, also known as classic heatstroke, can be brought on by old age or other health issues. It usually develops over a few days.

Who gets heatstroke?

Anyone can get heatstroke. But infants and the elderly are at especially high risk because their bodies may not be able to regulate temperature effectively.

Signs and symptoms of heatstroke:

• Anhidrosis (dry skin that doesn’t sweat, which is more common in non-exertional heatstroke).
• Dizziness.
• Hot, flushed skin or very pale skin.
• Low or high blood pressure
• Nausea and vomiting
• Low urine output
• Fast heart rate
• Seizures.
• Fainting or loss of consciousness.
• Weakness.
