Rising Temperatures: Doctors Warn of Dehydration, Heatstroke & Heart Risks
•Rapidly rising temperatures cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and increased strain on heart and kidneys.
•Dr. Anil Bansal warns of heat exhaustion (dizziness, weakness) progressing to fatal heatstroke if untreated, where body temperature exceeds 104°F.
•Heart patients face higher risk of heart attack due to increased cardiac workload; respiratory patients suffer from poor air quality combined with heat.
•UV rays and sweat lead to skin issues like photodermatitis, sunburn, prickly heat, and fungal infections.
•Prevention includes smart hydration (ORS, coconut water), avoiding peak sun (12-4 PM), wearing light cotton clothes, and consuming water-rich fruits.
