    Just curious what it feels like. Warning signs, symptoms, etc…

    Thanks.

    Yes, I live in Arizona where it is quite common. It is a very serious condition which should be treated immediately. It tends to start with a sense of restlessness or anxiety, and progresses to lack of perspiration. Nausea accompanies it, and sometimes difficulty breathing. I would say, if you have had it, you know it!

    Heatstroke ends with convulsions and loss of consciousness — but I haven\’t experienced this part of it myself!

    Egads! That sounds scary.

    Thank you for the description.

    At least now I will be able to recognize it if I ever experience it (hopefully not).

    Thanks again.
