Understanding the Risk"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the summer months\u2002heat up, so does the likelihood of heat-related health problems \u2014 including a more obscure, potentially dangerous phenomenon: heat-induced seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here at Accord Superspeciality Hospital, the Best Neuro Hospital in Faridabad, the cases of those suffering from seizure and epilepsy are remarkably high\u2002in significantly hot conditions. However, how heat may affect brain activity and\u2002whether it can induce a seizure is not completely understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>How Heat Can Trigger Seizures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seizures happen when the electrical\u2002activity in the brain goes haywire. Although they can result from different causes such as epilepsy, infections, and\u2002trauma, external heat and dehydration also can be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In hot conditions, the body excretes\u2002fluids and electrolytes in sweat. Without restoration, this imbalance can interfere with normal\u2002brain function. Dehydration, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke can cause body temperature to\u2002rise markedly \u2014 and for people who are susceptible to seizures, that can serve as a trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Febrile Seizures in Children<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children in general, particularly those aged under five, with high body temperature as a result\u2002of fever (commonly temperature induced by high heat or infections) may get febrile convulsions. Though usually not life-threatening, it can be scary and calls\u2002for medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Who\u2019s Most at Risk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Individuals with an\u2002epilepsy diagnosis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patients\u2002with a history of febrile seizures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elderly individuals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chronic\u2002neuro patients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People taking drugs that interfere with the\u2002body\u2019s temperature regulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Signs to Watch For<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sudden fainting or blackout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Twitches of the arms and\u2002legs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling disoriented or confused about yourself or your environment\u2002(when blacking out).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscle stiffness or shaking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High fever and\u2002then loss of consciousness (in children)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or someone near you has these symptoms, do not hesitate\u2002to visit a certified seizure specialist in Faridabad or nearby immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Prevention Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drink water and fluids with added keeping\u2002proteins all day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid long-term direct\u2002exposure to the sun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dress in\u2002light and loosely fitted breathable clothes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If possible, spend time in air-conditioned or\u2002shaded places to cool down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be aware of body temperature, especially in\u2002children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Specialist Treatment\u2002of Neurology in Faridabad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7a0538707dafa7b99fac1f3755e142fc wp-block-paragraph\">Comprehensive care is available\u2002from our seizure specialists and neurologists for epilepsy and other neurological diseases at Accord Superspeciality Hospital.
