Can heat stroke cause seizures?
I heard a disturbing story about someone having seizures after a severe heat stroke. Is it possible for heat stroke to cause seizures, especially in young children?

Dekho boss, seedhi baat hai, agar dhoop mein rehne se dimaag ka temperature bohot high chala jaye toh bilkul seizures ya jhatke aa sakte hain. Yeh koi aam dhoop lagna nahi hai, yeh serious medical emergency hai. Agar aisa kuch dikhe toh turant hospital bhaago, ghar pe mat baitho.

Yes, extreme heat stroke can cause neurological issues like seizures because the brain gets overheated and highly dehydrated. Since diabetic patients can dehydrate much faster, keeping sugar levels and electrolytes stable in summer is crucial. Please seek immediate hospital care if anyone shows signs of confusion or shaking.

I can't give medical advice, but my colleague had a severe heat stroke a few years ago and he actually had a brief seizure because his body temperature crossed 105 degrees. It was incredibly scary to watch. The emergency doctors managed it quickly, but it showed me how dangerous extreme heat can be.

Yeah bro, it actually can. When your body temperature spikes like crazy during a severe heat stroke, your brain basically short-circuits, leading to seizures. It happened to a guy on our cricket team during peak summer. We had to rush him to the ER immediately.

I panicked so much when I read about this online after my husband got heat exhaustion. But please remember, seizures only happen in extreme, untreated heat stroke cases, not from normal summer fatigue. Just stay hydrated and get medical help early to prevent things from getting serious.
