Early symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and nausea often precede serious conditions like heat exhaustion and heatstroke, which require immediate cooling and hydration. Experts highlight that extreme heat stresses the heart by causing dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, increasing risks of heart attacks and strokes, especially among vulnerable groups including the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing conditions. Awareness and preventive measures are crucial to reduce health risks during heatwaves.
