Heat Stroke Sign #10: Mental Confusion
Mental confusion is yet another sign of heat stroke. A person with heat stroke may find it difficult to use their mind as they would normally. It may become difficult for them to think, engage in a conversation, or even focus on anything. If, for instance, you have been talking with them, their input may fade off or be minimal. On closer observation, you might notice that they appear stunned or disoriented. It may also become difficult for the affected person to walk, or they may stagger.
Mental confusion is more common in heat stroke caused by overexertion. This leads to a concussion-like experience that interferes with normal coordination. The ensuing frustration may also lead to agitation.
