The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is continuously issuing alerts regarding heat in different states of the country. After 15 years, the mercury has crossed 40 degrees in April itself. This has increased the risk of diseases related to heat and heat.
Heat exastions and heatstrokes can occur if too much heat increases. If they are not treated on time, then the heat examination can be converted into heatstroke, which is a life threoning condition.
In the Lok Sabha last year, the Government of India said that between 2015 and 2023, 4057 people have died in the country in total. Now that meteorologists estimate that 2025 may be the hottest year, the danger increases further.
so ‘Sehthanama‘I will talk about heat exction and heatstroke today. Will also know that-
- What is the difference between these two?
- What are the risk factors of both?
- What to do to protect them?
What is the difference between heat exction and heat stroke?
Both heat exction and heat stroke are problems related to heat, but these are both separate conditions. So their effects are also different:
1. Heat Exitation
The heat exction occurs when someone lasts in the heat for a long time. During this time the body continuously sweat to keep itself cool. When the body keeps trying for a long time, there is a shortage of water and minerals. Due to this, there is a lot of fatigue and weakness.
2. Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is a more dangerous condition than heat exction. This happens when the body temperature control system fails completely and the body temperature increases greatly i.e. it goes above 104 ° F. In this condition, the body is not able to sweat to keep itself cool. This is a medical emergency, which requires immediate treatment.
It is necessary to identify the difference between heat stroke and heat examination
The weather will continue to heat up in the next few months, this will also increase the risk of heat exction and exasation. The correct identity of both these conditions is necessary because it may be a risk of life by mistake. The best way for this is to identify their symptoms-
What are their symptoms?
If there is any summer problem, there are first muscle cramps. This is followed by problems like headache and dizziness. Look at the graphic, how the symptoms of heat stroke and heat exitation are different-
Why is heat exction and heat stroke?
Both heat exisations and heat stroke are formed when the body is not able to cool itself when the temperature increases. Sweating is the natural way of the body to keep yourself cool. If the weather is very hot and someone is working very hard, then it is very difficult for the body to keep itself cool with the help of sweat.
The main reason for heat exction and heat stroke:
- Dehydration
- Very tight clothes
- alcohol abuse
What are the risk factors of heat exction and heat stroke?
Young children and the elderly have more problems than others due to heat. Therefore, they are also high at the risk of heat exction and heat stroke. Apart from this, see what more risk factors are, in graphic-
How to know that there is a medical emergency?
Emergency condition is formed in heat examination when the body is unable to cool itself. If the body cools itself within 30 minutes, then there is no problem. See the symptoms of emergency condition in graphic-
How to avoid heat exction and heat stroke
The most important thing to protect against heat-related diseases like heat exction and heat stroke is to keep body temperature cool. Especially when you are working outside in summer or sun or doing some activity, it becomes even more important.
1. Stay hydrated
Drink 2 to 4 cups of water every hour while working in summer or in the sun. In summer, the body needs more water, because a lot of water flows in the sweat.
2. Avoid alcohol and caffeine
If you are doing heavy physical activities. Especially in the summer, avoid alcohol and caffeine. They can dehydrate the body more and increase the risk of heat related diseases.
3. Stay in a cold place
Try on summer days to spend more and more time in AC places like mall, library or cinema hall.
4. Avoid direct sunlight in hot day
In the hottest time, avoid working outside from 12 noon to 3 in the afternoon and if you are out then stay in the shade.
5. Wear light colored clothes
Wear light colored, loose clothes while working outside. This will keep the body cool. Also wear a wide hat, which protects the sun and keep it cool.
6. Take bath with cold water
Take a bath with cold water in summer, so that the body’s temperature can be reduced.
7. Take a brake
Take a break often while working in summer or exercising. During this time, relax and give the body a chance to cool down.
8. Do not leave children, adults or pets in the car
Never leave children, adults or pets in a carcass car. The temperature in a closed car can grow very rapidly, which can cause heat related diseases.
9. Do not wear synthetic clothes
Wear cotton clothes instead of synthetic fabrics such as nylon in summer so that the body remains cold.
