In brief:
Sunny ain't strokey
Heat stroke is probably what you mean by sun stroke.
There are brain complications to heat stroke including headache, confusion, seizures and even death. But sun "stroke" doesn't typically cause true stroke which is death of brain tissue due to lack of sufficient blood flow to the brain--unless the heat stroke is quite severe.
