Heatstroke: a potentially fatal condition caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, where the body is unable to regulate its own temperature. Hypothermia: a condition where the body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Hyperthermia: a condition where the body temperature rises above its normal level due to prolonged exposure to hot temperatures.

Heatstroke is the only form of hyperthermia that is potentially life-threatening, while other forms of hyperthermia can be managed with proper medical care. Hypothermia is the condition of having an abnormally low body temperature and can be caused by exposure to cold temperatures. Heatstroke can cause seizures, coma, and even death, while hypothermia can cause confusion, slurred speech, and fatigue.
