Beating the Heat: Simple Ways to Prevent and Treat Heat Stroke
🌞 Beating the Heat: Understanding, Preventing, and Treating Heat Stroke
Beating the Heat: Simple Ways to Prevent and Treat Heat Stroke, Summer in Delhi can be very hot. Some days, the temperature goes over 45°C! It’s fun to be outside, play sports, or go for a walk — but when it’s this hot, your body can get too warm. That can lead to heat stroke, which is a serious health problem.
At Velocity Fitness Clinic, Dr. Rajiv Mehta helps people stay healthy and safe, even during the hottest months of the year. In this article, you’ll learn what heat stroke is, how to avoid it, and what to do if someone gets sick from the heat.
❓ What is Heat Stroke?
Heat stroke is when your body overheats and can’t cool itself down. Normally, your body cools off by sweating. But if you are in the heat too long, or if you don’t drink enough water, your body can stop sweating — and the temperature inside your body keeps going up.
If your body gets too hot (over 104°F or 40°C), your brain, heart, and muscles can get damaged. That’s why heat stroke is dangerous and needs fast medical help.
🚨 Signs of Heat Stroke (Beating the Heat: Simple Ways to Prevent and Treat Heat-Related Issues)
It’s important to know what heat stroke looks like. If you or someone else shows these signs, get help fast:
- Very high body temperature
- Headache or dizziness
- Feeling confused or sleepy
- Red, hot, and dry skin (no sweat)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fast heartbeat
- Muscle weakness or cramps
- Passing out (fainting)
Heat stroke can happen suddenly, and it can be life-threatening. That’s why you need to act quickly.
🥵 Why Heat Stroke Happens – Especially in Delhi (Beating the Heat: Simple Ways to Prevent and Treat)
In cities like Delhi, heat stroke is more common during summer. The weather is hot and dry, and many people spend time outside — such as walking, playing, or working in the sun.
Other reasons why people get heat stroke:
- Not drinking enough water
- Wearing tight or dark clothes
- Doing heavy exercise in hot weather
- Being in a place with no fan or AC
- Having a fever or illness
- Taking certain medicines
Young children, elderly people, and athletes are at higher risk. But anyone can get heat stroke if they are not careful.
✅ 7 Easy Tips to Prevent Heat Stroke (By Dr. Rajiv Mehta)
Dr. Rajiv Mehta shares these simple tips to help you stay safe in the heat:
1. Drink More Water
Always carry a water bottle and sip water often — even if you’re not thirsty.
2. Stay Indoors During Peak Heat
Avoid going out between 11 AM and 4 PM, when the sun is strongest.
3. Wear Light Clothes
Choose light-colored, loose cotton clothes. They keep you cooler.
4. Take Breaks While Exercising
If you’re playing sports or working out, take short breaks in the shade or indoors.
5. Use a Hat or Umbrella
Protect your head and face from direct sun. Wear a cap or use an umbrella.
6. Eat Fresh and Light
Eat juicy fruits like watermelon and cucumber. Avoid spicy, heavy food in the heat.
7. Watch for Warning Signs
If you feel dizzy, tired, or your skin is very hot — stop and rest in a cool place.
🏥 What To Do If Someone Has Heat Stroke (Beating the Heat: Simple Ways to Prevent and Treat)
If you think someone has heat stroke, don’t wait — act fast:
- Move them to a cool place (like a room with a fan or air conditioning).
- Lay them down and remove extra clothes.
- Cool their body with wet cloths, a cold shower, or ice packs on the neck, underarms, and groin.
- Fan them while spraying with water.
- Call a doctor or emergency help immediately.
⚠️ Don’t give water if the person is unconscious or vomiting.
