Ministry of Health clarifies heatstroke differs from sunstroke
The Ministry of Health has warned about the danger of heat stroke, which can affect individuals even indoors. It differs from sunstroke, especially as a result of staying in hot or extremely hot environments for extended periods without direct sun exposure. Heat stroke can disrupt the functions of vital organs, particularly the brain, and can quickly lead to coma or death if prompt intervention is not provided. Its symptoms range from a body temperature exceeding 40°C (104°F), cessation of sweating, severe fatigue, headache, nausea, and altered consciousness. Rapid cooling of the affected person and immediate transportation to a hospital are crucial. To prevent complications, the Ministry emphasized the importance of good ventilation, avoiding closed vehicles, and drinking plenty of water, especially for the elderly, children, and those with chronic illnesses during periods of high temperatures.
