00:00 It is more dangerous for those with medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes,

00:05 the extreme heat of the weather.

00:07 You should also be careful of the risk of stroke.

00:09 Katrina Son has a report.

00:11 On April 30, Evette Morales' mother complained of extreme heat.

00:20 She was dizzy and her right side of the body was stiff,

00:23 so she was immediately rushed to the hospital.

00:25 The doctor said she had a heat stroke.

00:28 She had a mild stroke, she was under the maintenance of medicine,

00:32 and now she is in therapy to get her walk back.

00:39 The 60-year-old Mercedes Mendoza is a stroke survivor.

00:43 It's hot in the house.

00:45 It's hot now, the weather.

00:47 I bathe her in the afternoon.

00:50 When the afternoon comes, I take her to a place that is a bit dark.

00:55 Rudy Blando, a 70-year-old man,

00:58 is not taking maintenance drugs and drinks a lot of water.

01:04 He also goes out of town to freshen up.

01:07 We swim in Batangas for two days to cool down.

01:11 The expert said that those with pre-existing conditions

01:14 such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension and obesity

01:19 should be more careful in the heat.

01:22 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

01:25 extreme heat is more dangerous than others

01:28 but it is more dangerous for people with chronic medical conditions.

01:32 They are not immediately able to cope with the change in temperature.

01:36 It is also possible that they are taking drugs

01:38 that will cause the effect of the feeling of heat.

01:41 Obese or overweight people have a higher chance of accumulating body heat

01:46 and the fatal effect of overheating is heat stroke.

01:51 There is a higher chance or risk of having a stroke,

01:57 specifically a skin stroke, if we are exposed to too much heat.

02:03 To avoid this, drink plenty of water. Avoid going into the heat.

02:07 Eat healthy food and don't forget to take your medicine.

02:12 Even an hour of exposure, just one hour of heat

02:15 could give you a 1.5 times risk of developing a stroke.

02:21 That's in general numbers.

02:23 Whether you have hypertension or not, diabetes or not, or you have a previous stroke.

02:28 So if you experience fatigue, imbalance, sudden blindness,

02:33 dizziness, and difficulty in thinking and speaking,

02:37 immediately go to the nearest hospital.
