Due to their age and insensitive sensory systems, the elderly may easily ignore symptoms of mild heatstroke.
It should be noted that heat stroke is not only easy to occur under the scorching sun.
In traditional Chinese medicine, heat stroke is divided into yin heat and yang heat . Sunstroke is common among workers and athletes who have been exposed to the sun for a long time. Yin-shu is a disease caused by cold in summer. Some people stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time and cannot dissipate the heat, so they are very susceptible to "yin-shu".
To stay away from heat stroke, you must keep five points in mind: Get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, avoid the sun, prepare medicines, and provide adequate ventilation.

On the other hand, when the temperature is hot and muggy at the end of the day, the viscosity of the human blood increases, the oxygen consumption of the heart increases, and the heart is prone to ischemia. Therefore, this is also the time when cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases occur more frequently.
