As it&rsquo;s also holiday time, most of us are likely &#116;&#111; spend more time outdoors, &#116;&#104;&#117;&#115; increasing &#111;&#117;&#114; exposure &#116;&#111; the heat &#097;&#110;&#100; the dust. Heat-related ailments can &#098;&#101; harmful if &#110;&#111;&#116; addressed immediately &#097;&#110;&#100; sensibly. Children, the elderly &#097;&#110;&#100; those working outdoors &#109;&#117;&#115;&#116; &#098;&#101; extra careful during summer as they are most vulnerable &#116;&#111; the heat. The most common heat-related diseases &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; affect people during this season include dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, skin diseases, heat strokes &#097;&#110;&#100; water-borne diseases &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; diarrhoea.&#105;&#116; is imperative &#116;&#111; take proper safety measures &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; &#121;&#111;&#117; develop muscle cramps in the legs, &#103;&#101;&#116; fatigued or feel weak &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; staying &#111;&#117;&#116; in the sun. These are the first symptoms of heat cramps &#097;&#110;&#100; heat exhaustion. <strong>Dehydration </strong>Dehydration or loss of fluids, water &#097;&#110;&#100; electrolytes in the body increases the risk of heat stroke. Every day we lose body fluids through sweating, excretion, breathing &#097;&#110;&#100; tears. These body fluids are generally &#098;&#101; replaced &#098;&#121; drinking water or juice, &#097;&#110;&#100; consuming foods &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; water. Symptoms of dehydration include thirst, light-headedness, dry skin, fatigue, less-frequent urination, dizziness, muscle cramping &#097;&#110;&#100; dryness in the mouth. Children &#109;&#097;&#121; also experience irritability, dryness in the mouth, lack of vigour &#097;&#110;&#100; energy, less or &#110;&#111; urination (for &#111;&#118;&#101;&#114; 3 hours), depressed cheeks, abdomen or eyes, high fever &#097;&#110;&#100; skin &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; does &#110;&#111;&#116; flatten &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; pinched.<strong>Precautions </strong>If detected early, dehydration can &#098;&#101; cured at home under &#097; doctor&rsquo;s advice. Serious cases of dehydration &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#098;&#101; treated as medical emergencies, &#097;&#110;&#100; hospitalisation &#109;&#097;&#121; &#098;&#101; necessary.*Drink plenty of fluids if &#121;&#111;&#117; are exposed &#116;&#111; the sun. &#121;&#111;&#117; &#109;&#117;&#115;&#116; drink more fluids &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; your body loses.*If possible, avoid outdoor activities between 1:00 pm &#097;&#110;&#100; 4:00 pm.*Wear &#097; cap &#097;&#110;&#100; carry &#097;&#110; umbrella if &#121;&#111;&#117; &#109;&#117;&#115;&#116; go &#111;&#117;&#116; in the afternoons.*Drink fresh fruit juice &#116;&#111; help maintain electrolyte balance.*Drink only boiled &#097;&#110;&#100; cooled water. This is mandatory for infants, children &#097;&#110;&#100; the elderly.<strong>Heat stroke </strong>Heat stroke (or sun stroke) occurs due &#116;&#111; overexposure &#116;&#111; sun and/or extremely high temperatures. &#105;&#116; is the most severe form of heat illness &#097;&#110;&#100; can &#098;&#101; fatal if timely medical attention is &#110;&#111;&#116; &#103;&#105;&#118;&#101;&#110;. Heat stroke can lead &#116;&#111; permanent &#100;&#097;&#109;&#097;&#103;&#101; of the internal organs &#097;&#110;&#100; result in death as well. &#110;&#111;&#116; sweating enough &#116;&#111; lower the body temperature is the primary symptom of &#097; heat stroke. The condition can develop quickly &#097;&#110;&#100; needs immediate medical attention.The human body produces heat, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; is dissipated generally through sweating. &#104;&#111;&#119;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;, under &#099;&#101;&#114;&#116;&#097;&#105;&#110; circumstances, such as high humidity, severe heat or vigorous physical activities in the sun,? the body &#109;&#105;&#103;&#104;&#116; &#110;&#111;&#116; dissipate heat quickly. This &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101;&#115; body temperature &#116;&#111; rise &#116;&#111; &#097; dangerous level. Dehydration can &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; heat stroke if the person does &#110;&#111;&#116; sweat enough &#116;&#111; &#099;&#111;&#111;&#108; &#111;&#102;&#102;.Heat stroke symptoms &#109;&#097;&#121; include headache, dizziness, high body temperature, flushed, dry &#097;&#110;&#100; hot skin &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#116; sweat, confusion or disorientation, fatigue or sluggishness, rapid heart beat, seizure &#097;&#110;&#100; hallucinations. If someone &#104;&#097;&#115; suffered &#097; heat stroke, move the person indoors, apply ice packs &#116;&#111; the groin &#097;&#110;&#100; armpits, sprinkle &#099;&#111;&#111;&#108; water &#097;&#110;&#100; fan the person &#116;&#111; stimulate sweat. &#099;&#097;&#108;&#108; for medical &#097;&#115;&#115;&#105;&#115;&#116;&#097;&#110;&#099;&#101; as quickly as &#121;&#111;&#117; can. &#116;&#111; prevent &#097; heat stroke, follow the precautions suggested &#116;&#111; avoid dehydration.<strong>Diarrhoea</strong>In summer, diarrhoea generally occurs due &#116;&#111; food poisoning. Summer is characterised &#098;&#121; high heat as well as humidity &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; are considered as main factors for high contamination of food &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; bacteria, &#115;&#105;&#110;&#099;&#101; bacteria thrive in such conditions. <strong>Precautions</strong>Many cases of diarrhoea are spread from person &#116;&#111; person. *Caregivers &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; wash their hands carefully &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; changing diapers, or helping the patient use the bathroom.*Children &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#098;&#101; instructed &#116;&#111; wash their hands frequently, especially &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; &#117;&#115;&#105;&#110;&#103; the bathroom.*Practise safe food-handling.

<p>I &#104;&#097;&#100; a severe clenching feeling &#105;&#110; my chest, no pain, &#098;&#117;&#116; &#105;&#116; felt &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101;&#111;&#110;&#101; was squeezing my heart, &#097;&#110;&#100; I couldn&#039;t move my hands. I could barely move my legs, &#097;&#110;&#100; my breathing was quick &#097;&#110;&#100; deep. I &#104;&#097;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101; feeling &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; your foot goes to sleep, &#111;&#110;&#108;&#121; &#105;&#116; was &#105;&#110; my whole body, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#105;&#116; was 5 times &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; severe. I&#039;m wondering if my heart &#115;&#116;&#111;&#112;&#112;&#101;&#100;, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#101; blood &#115;&#116;&#111;&#112;&#112;&#101;&#100; circulating. &#105;&#116; was around 90-95 degrees &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; &#105;&#116; happened today.

I took a Tylenol &#097;&#110;&#100; drank a glass &#111;&#102; water &#097;&#110;&#100; I felt &#111;&#107;, &#098;&#117;&#116; still &#104;&#097;&#100; a dull clenching &#105;&#110; my chest, &#097;&#110;&#100; felt a little shaky. It&#039;s about &#116;&#104;&#114;&#101;&#101; hours &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; &#105;&#116; happened &#097;&#110;&#100; I still feel mildly shaky &#097;&#110;&#100; jittery. I&#039;m wondering if I &#104;&#097;&#100; heat exhaustion, heat stroke, or something &#101;&#108;&#115;&#101;. I don&#039;t &#115;&#101;&#101; clenching chest feelings or stiffness &#111;&#102; limbs anywhere online for symptoms &#111;&#102; heat exhaustion or heat stroke. &#100;&#111; I have something &#101;&#108;&#115;&#101;?
