Heatstroke- Managing the Symptoms

Heatstroke is a condition that occurs due to your body overheating, usually as a cause of long-lasting exposure to or physical exertion in high temperatures. Heatstroke treatment in Bhubaneswar should be immediate. Untreated heatstroke can instantly disrupt your brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles. The damage worsens, and the longer the treatment is dealt with, the more serious risk of complications or death.
