Heat stoke can leave severe symptoms on a patient and can stay for a while.

Heat stoke is a heat-related illness that is being triggered when the body suffers overheat as a result of dehydration. It also happens when the patient is unable to cool off in hot climatic condition.

During heat stroke, severe climatic conditions place so much stress on the body system that the body’s natural cooling mechanisms can’t carry its functions, properly. When this happens, the part of the brain that controls central temperature gets overawed. The body system starts producing more heat than it is normal for it to release.
