Summer heat can be very dangerous for elderly people.
As people age, they may not feel thirsty even when the body needs water. Some seniors also avoid drinking water because of frequent bathroom visits. Certain BP, Parkinson’s, and psychiatric medicines can further increase dehydration and reduce sweating, raising the risk of heat stroke.
Seek medical help immediately if there is headache, vomiting, fever, dizziness, weakness, or low BP.
Take extra care of your parents and grandparents this summer
