Okay Gents,
Para sa atong tanan. Ako mismo dili ko kabalo unsahon pag identify kung heat stroke na ba or laspag lang per se.
SymptomsHeat stroke can come on suddenly, but warning symptoms often appear first. They include:
*Abdominal cramps
*Muscle cramps
*Nausea
*Vomiting
*Headache
*Dizziness
*Weakness
*Heavy sweat or a lack of sweat
When heat stroke starts, neurological symptoms can include:
*Odd or bizarre behavior
*Irritability
*Delusions
*Hallucinations
*Seizures
*Coma
http://www.everydayhealth.com/health-information/heat-stroke-hyperthermia-symptoms.aspxTreatmentThe first step in treating heat stroke is to reduce body temperature by cooling the body from the outside. This can be done by removing tight or unnecessary clothing, spraying the person with water, blowing cool air on the person, or wrapping the person loosely in wet sheets. Alternatively, ice packs can be placed at the neck, groin and armpits to accelerate cooling.
If these methods do not lower body temperature enough, a doctor may try to lower temperature from the inside by flushing the stomach or rectum with cold water. Severe cases may require cardiopulmonary bypass, in which the person's blood is diverted from the heart and lungs into a collection machine, cooled, and then returned to the body.
In some cases, anti-seizure or muscle-relaxing medications may be given to control convulsions and shivering. Aspirin and acetaminophen (Tylenol) do not help lower body temperature when a person has heat stroke, and these medications should be avoided if heat stroke is suspected.
People with heat stroke generally need to be hospitalized so they can be tested for complications that may appear after the first day. One common complication is muscle breakdown caused by the heat. In this condition, called rhabdomyolysis, byproducts of the muscle breakdown appear in the bloodstream and can damage the kidneys.

PreventionMost cases of heat stroke can be prevented. When the temperature outside is especially high:
*Drink lots of water throughout the day.
*Stay indoors in an air-conditioned area whenever you feel too warm.
*Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing, preferably with a loose-weave material that lets air get to your skin.
*Avoid strenuous activity in the hottest part of the day (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). If you must participate, take frequent breaks, limit the time that you wear a helmet by taking it off between activities, and avoid wearing heavy uniforms or equipment.
*Drink less caffeine and alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration.
If you begin to feel tired, dizzy or nauseated, or if you develop a headache, get out of the heat immediately. Seek out an air-conditioned building. Drink water. If possible, take a cool shower or bath or use a hose to soak yourself.
