\nEnjoying the sun is something that must be done safely, especially when temperatures are excessive and causing a risk to health<\/p>\n

\"\"[weather]<\/p>\n

\n

What problems can be caused by a heatwave?<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dehydration: <\/strong>Not having enough water
\nOverheating: <\/strong>This can make symptoms worse for people who already have problems with their heart or breathing
\nHeat exhaustion and heatstroke: <\/strong>Headache, dizziness, nausea and vomitting, pale skin, cramps and high temperature<\/p>\n

If you feel you have heat exhaustion, you should move somehwere cool and makes sure you take on plenty of water. Heat exhaustion can turn into heatstroke, and this can occur without warning.<\/p>\n

Heatstroke can cause serious damage to your body or even death<\/p>\n

Who are the people most at risk?<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Older people
\nBabies and young children<\/span>
\nPeople with a serious chronic condition, especially heart or breathing problems
\nPeople with mobility problems \u2013 for example, Parkinson’s disease or stroke related<\/span>
\nPeople with serious mental health problems
\nPeople on certain medications, including those that affect sweating and temperature control<\/span>
\nPeople who misuse alcohol or drugs
\nPeople who are physically active\u00a0\u2013\u00a0for example, labourers or those doing sports<\/span><\/p>\n

What should you do?<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Keep out of the heat – plan your day so you can stay out of the heat as much as possible. Particularly between 11am – 3pm. Avoid strenuous outdoor activity. Wear loose fitting clothes and take on plenty of fluid, preferably water.<\/p>\n

Stay cool – stay inside the coolest rooms, and close curtains in rooms that get a lot of sun. Keep windows closed while the room temperature is lower than the outside. Have a cool bath or splash face and neck with cold water frequently<\/p>\n

Drink plenty – even if you don’t feel thirsty, it is best to take on plenty of fluid. Water and fruit juices are the best options, whilst tea, coffee or alcohol are the worst, due to the fact they can cause dehydration.<\/p>\n

Eat normally – especially cold meals such as salad or fruit<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Call an ambulance if you need to<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heatstroke can kill. It can develop very suddenly and
\nmay lead very quickly to unconsciousness
\nIf you suspect someone has heatstroke call 999 immediately<\/span><\/h3>\n

DO NOT GIVE ASPIRIN OR PARACETAMOL<\/span><\/p>\n
