Heat Stroke Sign #4: Dizziness or Faintness
Heat stroke may also cause dizziness and faintness. This may occur when you have been sitting or lying under the sun for some time. You may find it difficult to get on your feet, and if you do, you may experience the uncomfortable feeling as if the world around you is spinning.
Heat stroke causes pumping of more blood to the skin and the limbs as the body tries to lower its internal temperature. This rush of blood outward can cause the blood pressure to drop. It also reduces the volume of blood reaching the brain. This can cause dizziness or even fainting.
