Does your job make you spend long hours outdoors? Do you feel dehydrated and suffer from a throbbing sensation in your head? If you can relate to the above situations it is time to know more about a heat stroke. So please go ahead and read this post.

The most common problem in the summer months that can turn serious if left untreated is sunstroke. Did you know, sunstroke can lead to organ failure, as it can damage your brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles? A lot has to do with our lifestyle habits especially during summers. A prolonged exposure to the sun or an excessive exertion in the heat combined with a low water intake can trigger a heat stroke during the scorching season.

Excessive sweating can lead to a fluid and electrolyte imbalance in the body and chronic dehydration. Consuming more alcohol or caffeinated drinks can further aggravate the condition and lead to a heat stroke.
