Long walks, waiting in direct sun and insufficient fluids can increase the risk of heat exhaustion during Istanbul summers. Dizziness, heavy sweating, weakness, headache and nausea may occur.
Information that makes coordination easier
Move the person to a cooler environment and, if there are no serious symptoms, support oral fluids as tolerated. Share age, chronic conditions, medication, duration of heat exposure and level of consciousness.
Safe assessment and the next step
Clinical assessment can help determine the degree of dehydration and whether another illness is causing similar symptoms. IV fluids should only be used when medically appropriate after assessment.
If urgent medical assessment is needed, seek the nearest appropriate medical service. For Medi Guest 24/7 coordination, call +90 541 533 12 12 or send your location via WhatsApp.
