Diagnosis of Heatstroke
Symptoms and a history of exposure to high heat and humidity The diagnosis of heatstroke is usually evident. People have a high fever, symptoms of brain malfunction, and a history of being exposed to high heat and humidity. If the diagnosis is not evident, tests are done for other disorders that can cause similar symptoms, such as infections, stroke, drug use, and an overactive thyroid gland ( Hyperthyroidism ).
