In such a situation, the body&#8217;s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. A heat illness is generally caused when the weather is hot. Other than high temperatures, there are several factors, which result in heat illness. These factors are \u2013 dehydration, physical exertion, old age, chronic disease, overpopulation, and lack of adaptation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat strokes occur due to environmental heat when the core temperature rises over 40\u00b0C (104\u00b0F). It is a form of hyperthermia. Heatstroke may also be referred to as a sunstroke. However, it is not like a stroke which is a general term used when the flow of oxygen to the brain is reduced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/understanding-heat-stroke-and-the-ways-to-prevent-it\/#People_Most_Likely_to_Suffer_from_Heat_Stroke\" >People Most Likely to Suffer from Heat Stroke<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/understanding-heat-stroke-and-the-ways-to-prevent-it\/#Heat_Stroke_Symptoms\" >Heat Stroke Symptoms<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/understanding-heat-stroke-and-the-ways-to-prevent-it\/#Preventing_Heat_Stroke\" >Preventing Heat Stroke<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/understanding-heat-stroke-and-the-ways-to-prevent-it\/#Heat_Exhaustion_vs_Heat_Stroke\" >Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/understanding-heat-stroke-and-the-ways-to-prevent-it\/#How_to_Prevent_Heat_Exhaustion\" >How to Prevent Heat Exhaustion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/understanding-heat-stroke-and-the-ways-to-prevent-it\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"People_Most_Likely_to_Suffer_from_Heat_Stroke\"><\/span><strong>People Most Likely to Suffer from Heat Stroke<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people are more vulnerable (at risk) to having a heatstroke than others.

Hydration is Key&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay hydrated, especially during exercise to maintain a healthy body temperature. Consume plenty of fluids one day before and on the day of the physical activity. During exercise, keep handy a drink rich in sodium and small amounts of sugar, such as Gatorade to replenish nutrients lost due to sweating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Accustoming to the Heat&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If most of your time is spent under the air conditioner and suddenly you try to run a couple of miles outdoors, your body might not be able to handle that kind of heat exposure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. A Healthy Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overweight people are at high risk for heat-related illnesses. Excess weight affects your body\u2019s ability to control its temperature and thus retains more heat.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Proper Clothing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wear loose and light clothing and a hat to limit sun exposure. Consider carrying an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun\u2019s rays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Utmost Care in Sickness&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain infections like the flu can cause a person\u2019s body temperature to spike. If you\u2019ve recently recovered from an illness, be careful about how much time you spend outside for several upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heat_Exhaustion_vs_Heat_Stroke\"><\/span><strong>Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat exhaustion occurs when our bodies lose water and salt naturally when we sweat. Alternatively, heatstroke is a serious medical emergency that takes place when the person\u2019s internal temperature rises and the body fails to control and cool it down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat exhaustion is defined as a mild-to-moderate heat-related illness due to making contact with high environmental heat. People most disposed to heat exhaustion are those working in a hot and humid environment and those that are old and have <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/diet-plan-to-control-high-blood-pressure\/bid-4478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high blood pressure<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our bodies naturally cool down through sweating. If a person over-exerts or works strenuously in a hot environment or a warm room, their bodies may have difficulty producing enough sweat to keep them cool and bring down their internal temperature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike heat stroke, heat exhaustion is of two types:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Water depletion in the body: feeling very thirsty, dealing headache, and vomiting.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt depletion in the body: muscle cramps, vomiting, lightheadedness, and nausea.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, heat exhaustion is not that serious if your body can cool down within half-hour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Prevent_Heat_Exhaustion\"><\/span><strong>How to Prevent Heat Exhaustion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A person suffering from heat exhaustion must follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Move to a cooler place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lie down and slightly raise their feet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drink plenty of fluids and hydrate themselves with either water or sports drink(s).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cool their skin by having someone fan them and sponge or spray on them with cold water. Ice packs around the neck or armpits are a good choice too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a sunscreen lotion with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 or more to protect one from the UV radiation from the sun.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear light-colored, lightweight, and loose-fit clothing, and a hat.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid alcohol or any caffeinated drinks because both these substances can make you lose fluids and aggravate heat exhaustion.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll probably be more sensitive to high temperatures the following week after you&#8217;ve recovered from heat stroke. This is why you should stay out of the sun and avoid vigorous exercise until your doctor says it&#8217;s safe to resume your regular activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the name suggests, heat stroke is a serious heat-related illness that is caused when the human body is not able to control its temperature.
