Candy could prevent heat fainting

Cardiologist Ricardo Freili offers a simple piece of advice for dealing with dizziness and fainting caused by high temperatures. He emphasizes the importance of eating a piece of candy or a lozenge when dizziness is linked to low blood sugar or dehydration. This trick helps provide a quick source of energy for the body, but it is not a cure for low blood pressure. The affected person should be moved to a cool place, their legs should be elevated, and water or salty drinks should be offered if possible. It is advised to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms persist, seizures recur, or if serious signs such as chest pain or shortness of breath appear.
