10 Heat Rash Symptoms

Symptom #10: Rapid Heart Rate
A rise in body temperature causes an increased heart rate as the body’s homeostatic system works to lower the temperature back to normal. This calls for increased blood flow to carry heat from inside the body to the surface for dissipation. Increased adrenal hormone production sets the heart beating faster.
If this happens, try to relax and stay calm. And if you are walking or doing any strenuous task, leave it aside for a while, sit in the shade, and drink some water. Also try to breathe in slowly through your nose, making a point to fill up your lower parts of your lungs first. Hold your breath briefly then exhale slowly.
