Medical Conditions - Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia refers to a condition in which the body's core temperature rises significantly above the normal range (typically around 98.6°F or 37°C). It can be caused by a variety of things, such as extreme heat exposure, demanding physical exertion, or specific medical disorders. Hyperthermia can happen when the body's cooling systems, such as sweating, are overworked or ineffective, resulting in symptoms like excessive perspiration, a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, and, in severe cases, heatstroke, which can be fatal.
