What is the reason for heat stroke?

It is normal to have heatstroke in the hot summer, but if you have heatstroke frequently, you must pay special attention to it. It may be that you have some kind of disease in your body, such as fever, increased heat production, hyperthyroidism, etc. In addition, malnutrition, excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, and excessive obesity are also common causes of heatstroke. At this time, you must stay away from hot places, open windows, ventilate, and sprinkle water frequently.

1. What is the reason for constant heat stroke?

1. Increased heat production, such as engaging in physical labor and sports, and suffering from diseases that increase metabolism, such as fever and hyperthyroidism.

2. Poor heat adaptation, such as malnutrition, the elderly and weak, pregnant women, excessive fatigue, lack of physical exercise, lack of sleep, drinking, hunger, and sudden entry into tourist hot spots and high temperature environments.

3. Heat dissipation disorders, such as excessive obesity, wearing tight, poorly breathable clothes, congenital lack of sweat glands, scleroderma, prickly heat, and scars from patients recovering from large-area burns.

2. What should I do if I often get heat stroke?

1. Stay away from hot places

Some hot places, such as open air places under direct sunlight, next to a fire, etc., often generate a lot of heat and make you feel very hot. Staying in these hot places for a long time can easily cause an imbalance in the body's temperature regulation system, leading to heatstroke, so stay away from hot places.

2. Sprinkle water

If you are staying in a relatively hot and stuffy indoor place, you can sprinkle some water on the ground (if you are in a high-rise location and the ground is leaking, that is not feasible). Because water evaporates when heated and takes away some heat, it can reduce the indoor temperature appropriately, making people feel more comfortable and reducing the occurrence of heatstroke.

3. Turn on the fan for ventilation

In summer, whether you stay indoors or outdoors, you will feel a little stuffy. If you are indoors, do not close the windows tightly. Ventilate the room and then turn on the fan. In this case, the air circulates between indoor and outdoor areas. Using an electric fan can promote the discharge of hot air and reduce the indoor temperature appropriately. When the temperature drops, the human body will not heat up too much.
