What do the experts say?

According to health experts, if a person faints in the heat, do not make the mistake of giving him water immediately because he has a lot of difficulty in drinking water. Instead of going into the stomach, the water can go into the lungs. This can cause a lot of difficulty in breathing.

When water enters the lungs, one can suffer from pneumonia. When a person is unconscious, giving him any liquid like water in the wrong way causes the balance of electrites in the blood stream to deteriorate. This can lead to heart-related problems.
