At the end of Ramadan, the temperature increased. For the past few days, there has been an uproar. People are going out of their homes for work, Eid shopping and other activities after fasting. However, common people feel uncomfortable after leaving the house. People in the house are also panting in the heat. In the meantime, the Meteorological Department has issued a heat alert in four divisions of the country including Dhaka. With the increase in heat, the number of patients in the hospital has also increased.
It has become difficult for working people and working people to go out in the scorching heat. The body is getting wet with sweat. However, due to fasting time, the fasting people are not getting the opportunity to drink water during the day. Experts say that the risk of heat stroke increases with excessive sweating and intense sun. So they advised to refrain from going out of the house without urgent need.
Heat stroke is a type of complication caused by an increase in human body temperature. Excessive sweating in the heat causes the human body to become dehydrated. As a result, the risk of getting diarrhea, heat stroke, cholera, shortness of breath, convulsions, stomach problems, cold-fever, asthma, gas problems, respiratory tract infections, skin problems and other types of allergies increases. This risk is especially high for the elderly, children and pregnant women.
The normal human body temperature is a little over 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat stroke can occur if it exceeds 104 degrees Fahrenheit. If this problem is not treated immediately, the patient may die.
