What are the symptoms of heat stroke?

Question

Heatstroke first aid and Homoeopathy
Heatstroke or sunstroke is defined as the condition where core body temperature reaches more than 105 degrees Fahrenheit, it may range from mild heat cramps, syncope or exhaustion.
Generally it is a combined effect of failure of heat control mechanism by hypothalamus and dehydration
Symptoms may include:
1. Throbbing�headache�2. Dizziness�and light-headedness
3. Lack of�sweating�despite the heat
4. Red, hot, and�dry skin
5. Muscle�weakness�or�cramps
6. Nausea and�vomiting
7. Rapid heartbeat, which may be either strong or weak
8. Rapid, shallow breathing
9. Behavioral changes such as confusion, disorientation, or staggering, Seizures, Unconsciousness
First Aid for Heat Stroke
If you suspect that someone has a heat stroke, immediately call for emergency care or transport the person to a hospital. Any delay seeking medical help can be fatal.
While waiting for the paramedics to arrive, initiate�first aid. Move the person to an air-conditioned environment -- or at least a cool, shady area -- and remove any unnecessary clothing.
If possible, take the person's core body temperature and initiate first aid to cool it to 101 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. (If no thermometers are available, don't hesitate to initiate first aid.)
Try these cooling strategies:
Fan air over the patient while wetting his or her�skin�with water from a sponge or garden hose. Apply ice packs to the patient's armpits, groin, neck, and back. Because these areas are rich with�blood�vessels close to the skin, cooling them may reduce body temperature. Immerse the patient in a shower or tub of cool water, or an ice bath.
If emergency response is delayed, call the hospital emergency room for additional instructions.
Homoeopathy for sunstroke
Homoeopathy offers effective treatment for heat stroke but medicines should be selected based on symptom similarity and individualisation only
Some of medicines used to treat�heatstroke are Belladonna, Glonoine, Natrum carb, Natrum mur, Gelsemium, Bryonia, Aconite, etc.
