Heat Stroke Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Coma
One of the most dangerous symptoms of heat stroke is a coma. A coma is a state in which patients cannot be awakened and they are unresponsive to stimuli. While comas are not common in heat stroke patients, they do occur, which again points to the need for rapid intervention.
Heat stroke or hypothermia is the most dangerous of the heat-related illnesses. Unlike heat exhaustion, where merely moving to a cooler, climate-controlled environment is likely all the treatment is needed, heat stroke requires medical intervention to cool the body rapidly. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the symptoms of heat stroke, do not hesitate to seek medical assistance.
