What is a common symptom of heat stroke?

Shivering
Headache
Feeling cold
Increased appetite

The correct answer is: Headache

A common symptom of heat stroke is indeed a headache. Heat stroke occurs when the body overheats, often due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, and it can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. The body’s thermoregulation is impaired, leading to symptoms that can include confusion, agitation, and headaches. Headaches can occur as a result of dehydration and the strain the body experiences when it is unable to cool itself effectively. This is an important symptom as it indicates that the body is experiencing significant stress and may be heading towards a critical condition. In contrast, shivering, feeling cold, and increased appetite do not align with the body's response to extreme heat. Instead, during a heat-related illness, a person typically presents with high body temperature, hot, dry skin, and an absence of sweating, rather than symptoms associated with being cold or having an increased appetite.
