Could it be heatstroke?
Heatstroke occurs when your body loses control of its temperature system. It's the most serious form of heat injury, and it can damage your brain and internal organs. In some cases, it's deadly.
Heatstroke can affect people of all ages, even people who are healthy and haven't had a heat injury in the past.
