What should I do if I have a headache due to heat stroke

Summer is the season most prone to heatstroke. Being in a high temperature or hot environment for a long time will cause the body's temperature regulation function to be disrupted, leading to heatstroke. The characteristics of heatstroke are sweating, fatigue, weakness, nausea and vomiting. At this time, it is necessary to cool down in time. Severe heatstroke can induce fever cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heatstroke is not difficult to solve, the key is to master the method. So, what should you do if you have a heat stroke and headache? Let’s take a look below.

1. Quickly evacuate the high temperature environment that causes heat stroke and choose a cool and ventilated place to rest. When a migraine attacks, you might want to rest for a while in a dimly lit, quiet room. Generally speaking, the migraine will be relieved after just half an hour of sleep.

2. Massaging the head with moderate force is an effective way to relieve migraine. The temple is an important acupoint for migraine massage. You can press it with your index finger, or you can use your fist to gently rotate back and forth from the temple to the hairline to massage.

3. Drink green tea . The substances in green tea are effective in relieving migraines, so you can drink green tea in moderation to overcome severe migraines.

4. Using yoga and meditation is a new way to treat migraines. You can buy a CD of this kind, and when you have a headache, close your eyes and meditate for a while to the music, letting the harmonious sounds of nature make you forget the pain.

5. Put ice cubes in an ice bag or wrap them in a towel and apply them to the area where you have a headache. Once the blood vessels in the cooled head constrict, the symptoms will naturally ease.

6. Replenish water, drink more refreshing drinks containing salt, and drink slowly in small sips to avoid increasing the burden on the heart.

7. You can apply cooling oil, wind oil, etc. on the forehead and temples, or take Chinese medicine such as Ren Dan, Shi Di Shui, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui.

8. Take anti-heat medicine and press acupoints such as Ren Zhong and Hu Kou to help restore consciousness. If the symptoms do not ease, call for help immediately.

9. Wash your face with cold water, apply a cold towel to the back of your head and other parts, and then take a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

10. If you experience low blood pressure or collapse, you should lie down immediately and go to the hospital for intravenous saline drip.

11. In addition to immediately transferring patients with severe heatstroke from a high temperature environment to a cool and ventilated place, they should also be quickly sent to a hospital and comprehensive measures should be taken to treat them. If far away from the hospital, the patient should be removed from the high temperature environment, wrapped in wet sheets or wet clothes and powered by a strong fan to increase evaporative heat dissipation. While waiting for transport, it is also a good idea to immerse the patient in a lake or river, or even cool him/her with snow or ice.
