Symptoms may include:<\/p><ul><li>A high body temperature above 40\u00b0C;<\/li><li>Rapid heartbeat;<\/li><li>Rapid or laboured breathing;<\/li><li>Headache, dizziness or lightheadedness;<\/li><li>confusion or disorientation;<\/li><li>Nausea or vomiting;<\/li><li>Seizures; and\/or<\/li><li>Loss of consciousness.<\/li><\/ul><p>Emotional sensations such as anxiety and agitation, and a sense of being overwhelmed can also occur due to the body\u2019s response to high temperatures. Failure to treat heatstroke could lead to organ damage or be fatal.<br \/><br \/>That said, it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between someone who is simply hot and sweaty, and someone who is experiencing heat exhaustion.<br \/><br \/>With the latter, one\u2019s body temperature typically rises above 40\u00b0C. The skin might feel dry and hot, causing sweating to stop altogether.<br \/><br \/>In contrast, those who are merely exerted usually continue to perspire, and are unlikely to experience the symptoms above.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4a674a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e4a674a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 15-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container{height:100%;width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty{position:relative;min-height:22px;min-width:22px}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon{position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;margin:auto;padding:0;width:22px;height:22px}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa460f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fa460f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"subtopic01\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 15-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Treatment and severity<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e71082a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e71082a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In mild cases, heatstroke is often treated effectively through rest and rehydration.

For example, heatstroke could cause damage to the brain, resulting in cognitive impairment, memory problems, and difficulties with coordination and movement.<br \/><br \/>It may also cause damage to the kidneys, liver, and heart, leading to organ failure and other serious complications.<br \/><br \/>The duration of sun exposure that leads to heatstroke varies depending on factors such as the overall temperature and humidity, as well as the individual\u2019s age, health, and physical wellbeing.<br \/><br \/>There is no set amount of time for how long someone needs to be out in the sun to get heatstroke. It could develop within just a few hours of exposure to high temperatures and humidity, especially if the person is performing strenuous activity.<br \/><br \/>As some individuals may be more susceptible than others, it\u2019s crucial to take precautions such as wearing light clothing, using umbrellas or taking breaks in shaded or cool areas, and drinking lots of water.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55ec4f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"55ec4f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77c89f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"77c89f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ha-heatstroke_0.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5781\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ha-heatstroke_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ha-heatstroke_0-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e93df6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5e93df6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b94481a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b94481a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"subtopic02\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Indoor risks<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c38ab8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c38ab8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Heatstroke can occur indoors, too, especially during extended periods when the outdoor temperature is very high.
