Introduction
Summer in Guntur is intense, with temperatures often soaring beyond 42°C. Extreme heat does more than cause discomfort it can place significant stress on the brain and nervous system. Dehydration, heat exhaustion, and uncontrolled blood pressure can increase the risk of serious neurological emergencies such as brain stroke and brain hemorrhage.
It is important to understand that heat stroke (sun stroke) and brain stroke are different medical emergencies. However, severe summer dehydration and blood pressure fluctuations can indirectly increase stroke risk in vulnerable individuals.
