In simple terms, heat stroke is when your body temperature crosses 104°F (40°C) because it can't cool itself down anymore. My fitness tracker always alerts me to slow down when my heart rate spikes in high heat, which is a major pre-cursor to heat exhaustion.

Heat stroke is when the body gets so hot from the sun that it stops sweating and can make a person faint. Drinking aam panna or nimbu paani helps cool the stomach, but if someone is confused or unconscious, please rush them to a doctor immediately.

It is basically a severe medical condition where the body's heat-regulating system fails completely under extreme heat. Since thyroid issues already mess up my body's temperature regulation, I am extra careful and always check with my doctor before traveling in peak summers.

Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition where the body temperature shoots up rapidly due to prolonged exposure to high heat. Keeping yourself hydrated with coconut water and watery fruits like watermelon is great for prevention, but an actual stroke needs emergency medical therapy.

It is when the body overheats so much that it can cause damage to the brain and other organs if not treated. My son got severe heat exhaustion during an outdoor sports day, and it was terrifying. Keep kids indoors during peak afternoon hours and make them drink plenty of water.
