Heatwave Dangers: Why Even Healthy People Are at Risk

Dr. Nada Macura brutally reminds us that summer isn’t just about soaking up the sun—it’s a deadly trap for everyone from heart patients to, believe it or not, relatively healthy folks! Heatwaves can cause collapse, fainting, and even heatstroke, and sweating isn’t just losing fluids—it’s a risk for heart rhythm disorders. Think you’re safe because you’re healthy? Think again—your body can easily get overwhelmed! While you’re roasting between 10 AM and 5 PM, Dr. Macura advises drinking at least three liters of water daily and avoiding extreme heat, especially for kids and the elderly. And don’t forget, driving in the heat is a recipe for disaster due to altered mental states! So if you think summer is just fun and games, think again—your health is on the line!
