Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is a prevalent heat-related illness that occurs when the body is exposed to high temperatures and inadequate hydration for an extended period. This leads to a core body temperature of 38°C to 40°C, causing dehydration and a range of symptoms. 

Heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, and muscle cramps are all common indicators of heat exhaustion. 

If left untreated, the condition can rapidly deteriorate, leading to confusion, loss of consciousness, and even heatstroke - a life-threatening medical emergency. 

Fortunately, heat exhaustion can be effectively managed with simple measures: moving to a cooler environment, resting, replenishing fluids with cool beverages, and applying cool compresses to regulate body temperature. 

However, it is crucial to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen, ensuring proper treatment and prevention of further complications.
