Heatstroke Symptoms
Heatstroke symptoms occur when the body's temperature regulation fails, leading to core temperatures above 40°C. Symptoms include confusion, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, and flushed skin. Immediate medical treatment is vital to prevent severe complications or death. Further symptoms may include seizures and loss of consciousness. Hydration and cooling are key interventions.
