What is Heatstroke?

This is a life-threatening emergency where the person's body temperature is dangerously high and they display neurological abnormalities. This occurs when the body fails to regulate its temperature properly. It can be caused by the surrounding environment (heat, moisture) or internal factors (dehydration, strenuous exercise).

Typical Symptoms of Heatstroke

Diagnostic Questions for Heatstroke

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you have pain at the back of your head?
  • Are your hands or feet hot?
  • Do you have joint pain all over your body?
  • Do you have a fever?
  • Are you urinating less?

Treatment of Heatstroke

Treatment for mild heat-related illness starts with simple measures like resting in the shade, loosening clothing, and drinking water. Heat stroke, by contrast, is a severe heat illness that requires emergency treatment. Patients can receive cool water immersion, cold fluids through the bloodstream, and evaporative cooling treatments.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
