According to the severity of clinical manifestations, heatstroke can be divided into premonitory heatstroke, mild heatstroke and severe heatstroke, and the relationship between them is gradual.

Symptoms of premonitory heat stroke

●In high temperature environments, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, thirst, excessive sweating, weakness and soreness of limbs, inattention, and uncoordinated movements may occur.

●The body temperature is normal or slightly elevated.

●If you move it to a cool and ventilated place in time and add water and salt, you can recover in a short time. Symptoms of mild heatstroke

●The body temperature is often above 38 degrees.

●In addition to dizziness and thirst, there are often symptoms such as flushing of the face, heavy sweating, and burning of the skin, or symptoms such as clammy limbs, pale complexion, decreased blood pressure, and accelerated pulse.
