Symptoms of heat exhaustion include nausea, dizziness, weakness, headache, pale and sweaty skin, weak pulse, disorientation.
• Heat stroke, unlike heat exhaustion, occurs suddenly and without warning. The development of heat stroke occurs when the body is unable to provide cooling of the body gradually begins to malfunction. The process of sweating is stopped due to a low content of fluid in the body's cells. As a result, impaired thermoregulation, leading to a sharp increase in body temperature. Finally, it rises to a level at which the brain and other vital organs can not function normally. Attention, heat stroke is life-threatening! Symptoms of heat stroke: increased body temperature, hot, dry skin Dry skin: care and treatment , Cessation of sweating, rapid pulse, weakness, loss of consciousness.
