Feeling the Heat? Know the Signs of Heat Stroke!
Summer days can be beautiful, but extreme heat can be dangerous — especially for older adults. Heat stroke is serious and can develop quickly if the body overheats. Knowing the warning signs can help you stay safe and get help early.
Common Symptoms to Watch For:
High body temperature (above 40°C) 🌡️
Hot, red, or dry skin
Rapid heartbeat or breathing
Headache, dizziness, or confusion
Nausea or vomiting 🤢
Feeling faint or collapsing
If you or someone you know shows these signs, seek medical help immediately. Cooling down with shade, water, and light clothing can help prevent heat stroke, but professional care is essential.
💛 Stay safe in the heat! Make sure to drink plenty of water, avoid the hottest parts of the day, and check in with friends, family, or your Care Manager regularly.
