Besides being a season of pleasant emotions, summer is also known for some of its negative manifestations.

Sunstroke and heatstroke are among them. The difference between them is that heatstroke can occur not only from prolonged exposure to the sun. Its appearance is not limited to a specific age group but is caused by working in hot, unventilated rooms with high air humidity. The elderly and children, as well as people with cardiovascular diseases, are most at risk of sunstroke. Experts remind that to limit sunstroke, one should stay in the shade, especially during midday hours, avoid direct sunlight, wear hats in the city and use an umbrella on the beach, wear cotton and light clothes, drink more fluids, not consume alcohol during the day, avoid physical exertion, and those vacationing at sea should not stay on the beach between 11 am and 2 pm.

It is also important to know that the symptoms of sunstroke and heatstroke are similar, so do not underestimate them. In such situations, there is a headache, facial redness, profuse sweating, rapid and labored breathing, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, and ringing in the ears. In more severe forms, loss of consciousness, hallucinations, and seizures occur. First aid for heatstroke or sunstroke should be given quickly, regardless of the degree of damage. The affected person should be moved to a cool, shady, and ventilated place and placed in a semi-sitting position with a cold compress on their head. Wet towels should also be placed on their chest, abdomen, and back. If the affected person is able to take fluids, they should be given cooled and sweetened drinks.
