Heat Stroke Symptoms

9. Seizure
Heat stroke, when left untreated, can result in a seizure. A seizure is caused by electrical disturbances in the brain that lead to sudden, rapid movement. In some cases, it can result in the loss of consciousness. Most likely, the cause of a seizure during heat stroke is fever-related, but it can also be the result of some other underlying condition.
Your body is not meant to reach temperatures above 104 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures are dangerous, and when they are coupled with reduced blood flow to the brain and decreased lung function, it is not out of the realm of possibility for you to experience a seizure. This is another reason why quick intervention is necessary during heat stroke.
