What are the signs of heat stroke?
Serious signs that indicate a medical emergency and require immediate medical attention include unconsciousness, rapid heartbeat, throbbing headache, dry skin, chest pain, mental confusion, irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps, staggering and difficulty breathing. If you need any medical assistance, dial 911, move the heat-stressed person to a cool area and remove his or her excess clothing, spray the individual with water and fan him or her until help arrives.
