Can heat stroke cause vomiting?
Yesterday, my younger brother was feeling dizzy and started vomiting after playing outside in the heat. Could his symptoms be related to a heat stroke?

Yes, vomiting is a very common sign of heat exhaustion, but please don't start trying random home remedies or drinking heavy concoctions you find online. If someone is vomiting constantly, they can get severely dehydrated very fast. Skip the internet hacks and take them to a doctor to get proper IV fluids if needed.

Vomiting is a classic symptom of heat stroke as the body struggles to cope with the extreme thermal load. When my son fell ill due to the summer heat, the hospital doctors clearly explained how dehydration affects the brain's nausea center. Please consult a qualified doctor immediately to manage the fluid loss properly.

Honestly, yes. I spent last night cleaning up after my cousin who got too much sun at a match and couldn't stop throwing up. It's like the stomach just completely shuts down when your body is baking. Keep them cool, give them tiny sips of water, and please let me get some sleep now.

Yes beta, vomiting often happens when the body gets too much heat, it is how the stomach reacts to the thermal shock. In our days, we would put a cold wet cloth on the forehead and stomach to bring down the heat. Don't worry, just keep them in a cool room and give them light ORS water slowly.

I had a heat stroke where the vomiting became so severe that my kidneys started getting stressed due to sudden dehydration. It is not something you should try to manage at home with simple rest if it doesn't stop. Please see a doctor right away to get their vitals checked.
