Sweating & Headache
Hot body temperature often causes you to break out in a sweat. If the stroke is caused by hot weather, there’s every chance that you were sweating before it occurred. Patients who are rushed into the hospital for a heat stroke are often covered in sweat. This is the body’s way of trying to cool off and manage the temperature rise. When the heatstroke is brought on by strenuous exercise, your skin may feel dry or slightly moist.
At the start of a heat stroke, you may experience throbbing on one side of your head. It is usually brought on by dehydration and can last for a few hours. This is an early sign that you should see your doctor, so it is best to act fast before symptoms worsen.
