Heat Stroke Symptoms
6. Hallucinations
Hallucinations are realistic imagined sensations. They can be auditory or visual, and while these events are not based in reality, to the person experiencing them hallucinations can seem to be real. While this condition is most often associated with mental disorders such as schizophrenia, it also can appear in people suffering from a traumatic event or illness.
Hallucinations can be brought about by high fevers, brain trauma or organ damage. As those suffering from heat stroke likely experience all or some of those symptoms, it is not uncommon to hear that heat stroke survivors have experienced hallucinations. It is necessary to point out that not all hallucinations are intense visuals or voices; many cases involve body sensations, often described as crawling feelings on the skin, or odors.
