Heat Stroke Severe Signs: The arrival of a heatwave in North India during the summer season is not a new thing, but this time in April itself, the mercury crossing 40 raises concerns. Due to the extreme heat, our body also struggles to maintain the temperature, which can cause serious damage to our health. Heat stroke, dehydration, exhaustion, diarrhea, confusion, and heat cramps become common health problems during this time. Many people also fall seriously ill during this time.

Heat stroke requires immediate medical attention. If left untreated, it can badly damage your brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles. The longer you wait to seek treatment, the more your health will suffer. Complications associated with it can also cause death.

Symptoms of Heat Stroke That You Shouldn't Ignore
1. Increase in body temperature
A body temperature of 104 degrees or more is a sign of heat stroke. If this happens, the person should be taken to the hospital immediately.

2. Increased heart rate
Heartbeat increases due to an increase in body temperature.

3. Fast breathing
When the temperature rises, the body breathes more to keep itself cool. In such a situation, you start breathing fast. An increase in body temperature also puts pressure on the heart. This is because the heart has to pump blood faster and quicker to naturally cool the body temperature. Because of this, there can be difficulty in breathing.

4. Not understanding something
Heat stroke also affects brain function, which can lead to confusion, imbalance, and even seizures. Exertional heat stroke disrupts your central nervous system, so lack of coordination, disorientation, anger, or an inability to move can be major warning signs.

5. Headache
The severe headache is often accompanied by symptoms of heat stroke, such as dizziness or a heavy feeling in the head. This symptom usually occurs due to a lack of water.

6. Skin rashes
When heat stroke occurs, the body circulates blood, like the skin, so that it can cool down. Due to this, the skin becomes red. The skin can also become dry or sticky due to heat stroke.

7. Muscle stiffness or weakness
Heat stroke causes muscle stiffness, apart from which you may also have weakness or fainting. You may feel sick after exercise, which is called heat cramps.

8. Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting due to an increase in body temperature is a natural response of our body.

9. Hot and dry skin
Due to an increase in body temperature, the skin also feels hot, as well as it becomes dry. During this time it may also appear that the skin is burning. Despite the terrible heat, there is no sweating.
