Signs of heat stroke

As summer weather heats up, it is important to recognise symptoms of heat stroke. Normally, you regulate your body temperature by sweating. But in some cases, the body’s temperature-control system is overtaxed and your temperature rises too quickly.

Very high body temperature can cause damage to the brain and to other organs. People at highest risk of heat-related illness include: infants and children up to 4 years old, people over 65, those who are overweight and those on certain medications.

The CDC says symptoms of heat stroke include:

* Body temperature above 103 degrees F.

* Red, hot and dry skin, and little or no sweating.

* Rapid, strong pulse.

* Throbbing headache.

* Dizziness.

* Nausea.

* Confusion.

* Loss of consciousness.
