ChatGPT
Sunstroke, also known as heat stroke, is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body overheats due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially in hot and humid weather. It is considered a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment.

Sunstroke is caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which can cause the body's internal temperature to rise to dangerous levels. This can cause a range of symptoms, including headache, dizziness, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and nausea. If left untreated, sunstroke can cause seizures, coma, and even death.

Some of the risk factors for sunstroke include dehydration, certain medications, alcohol use, and being elderly or very young. People who work outdoors, participate in outdoor sports or activities, or who live in areas with high temperatures and humidity are also at an increased risk of developing sunstroke.
