This video came about 2 weeks too late for me, but luckily my Apple Watch alarm went off. My pulse was 135 and I was just sitting in a bench working in the garden. I had no idea heat affected the heart so much. It was 92F with a heat advisory of 110 due to high humidity. Lesson learned! Great public service with this video.

Being in a completely darkened room out of sunlight totally helped me too. I started to feel better almost immediately.

My husband has dementia and is a skinny guy. Not a lot of water storage muscles. We live in Tucson, he is 94, and this is a danger year round . Obviously a huge danger now, as he likes to go outside and walk his yard as the gardener he used to be. Confusion and increased speech problems.are alerts. If he drinks water without prompting, that is an alert. This an important presentation now especially for us older adults. Same big risk for younger children.

Luckily for me I had a Vietnam Vet who was working construction with me when I had heat stroke. I was so far gone, I had no idea what I was doing. I like to explain to my scouts an analogy is that heat exhaustion is like your AC running all the time and not being able to keep the temperature down enough. Heat stroke is like when the AC breaks completely. I like how you showed an example of how someone can be so confused.

Great video on Heat Stroke. It is a real issue. I have seen an employee suffer from heat stroke at the workplace, to the point where EMTs were called in. A job prior took precautions in preventing heat stroke by giving the employees some orange powder in a packet, where you just add water. This was done on hot days. Now I know it was just a drink containing electrolytes.

These days I just carry a 14.6 oz Zwilling tea infuser and a 33.8 oz Zwilling bottle. Both are filled with ice water on hot days. The tea infuser goes with me, and the bottle stays in the car.

Here in Central Scotland, we are enjoying a balmy 63 Degrees F and it has been like that for weeks with above average rainfall. But after watching this video, I am not complaining!

Almost had a heat stroke at work last week. My doctor wants me to get a new job. Wish I saw your before Monday. Thank you for the information!

Almost had one on Sunday. I had stepped out briefly on a very hot day and on my way back, stopped at the local grocers very close to my place. As I was about to pay him, i suddenly felt faint and nauseous and sweaty. I sat down under the fans, aaked for a cold, wet papertowel, and wiped my face, arms, throat and legs and feet to cool down. Thank God i was inside the shop as I could cool down and then walked back to my place safely. That was scary! I was perfectly fine after i rested a bit. Thank you for this vid.

Just came in from doing yard work in 90 degrees. I’m sweating a lot still and I feel exhausted, breathing kind of heavy. I’m 64. I’m doing better now that I’m inside and under a fan

I survived a 107.8° fever 20 years ago. It was over 105 for over 2 hours but I was too out of it to keep checking it. It was 107.8 when my husband got home 2 hours after I called him because my fever was 105. It was still 107.4 when the homecare nurse got there and done to 106.5 when we got to the ER. I don't remember the next 4 days after that. They were worried about heat stroke, but I survived it.

My husband is a nut when it comes to heat. He has put up a fence in our backyard once and he started vomiting and felt dizzy. I had to force him inside and give him some water and then i put cold wet towels on him at the back of the head and on his core body. But he didn't want to acknowledge that it was heat related. I finally got him back to a normal zone but i have to watch him like a hawk at this time of year.

Great video! Great patient presentation! It's very accurate to the real thing

I spent a year overseas my time in the service. It was in Kuwait and I did a lot of 24 hour shifts in that awful heat. I just got home from surviving 7 seizures in a row and a trip to UPMC Hamot. I always used to confuse them for just heat flashes.

Thanks for informative video Dr. Hansen.

Dr. Hansen, thank you for this PSA! This is such an important reminder to those of us that live in places where temps get dangerously high and we tend to brush off the risks of life-threatening heat. Stay cool in NV!

Thanks to the actor/victim! I live in Phoenix and I’ve known this set of warning signs since I was a child but it’s always good to review them, especially this summer. Patiently waiting in the A/C for October. 😅

I had a heat stroke last year after drinking almost no water when it was SUPER hot and working all day. Had a very high 41°C fever and couldnt sweat... but water+salt and cool washcloths make me feel okay after a few hours
