In any heat stroke the body should be cooled immediately. The person should be moved inside, or at least into the shade. Clothing should be removed and cold water, cold cloths or even a cool bath should be used to cool down the patient. If the person appears confused, dizzy or appears to be drunk an ambulance should be called immediately. If the person is able to drink they should drink water. Sports drinks are OK but water is better.

Why do strokes affect the voice?

My grandpa had a stroke and he almost lost his ability to talk and half his body was paralyzed.

After the stroke you get some major damage to your body and it affects the side of the brain that is with your motar skills and such and it makes it hard to speak. It's something to do with the brain but if someone has a better answer then they could post here.
