Avatar m tn My husband suffered heat exhaustion a few days ago. He ran a fever of 101 all night w/ sweating off and on. Thinking he would be in the a/c he went back to work the next day and had to be outside to fix a part on the equipment he was running which set him off to a severe headache, he quit sweating, dry and hot, his muscles were starting to cramp and he said he felt like he could vomit, but never did. He had all the symptoms of a stroke, but didn't lose consciousness.
Avatar f tn Dogs can get heat exhaustion and heat stroke just like people, and heat stroke can be fatal without immediate medical support. It's so easy to forget proper hydration and cooling during the beginning of the summer months. I'm guilty of that myself. Living in a sub-tropical region and being sensitive to heat, I have to force water and Gatorade down my throat regularly if I'm outside.
Avatar f tn I ended up getting so hot because someone cut the wires to our outside air conditioner :( I've been using ice to cool myself down while the house does and I feel almost normal again, just need some sleep. And I've heard of where you live lol :) just don't have a clue where it is! I have only lived here since late July of last year (moved from Illinois) and have had a lot of trouble adjusting to the harsher sun even before I got pregnant.

Avatar f tn Dehydration can cause nausea and lead to a vicious cycle where the dehydration and heat do lead to heat exhaustion because the nausea prevents the intake of fluids which just adds to the dehydration and leads to the body getting hotter and hotter.
Avatar m tn s actually someone like a real stroke but heat stroke or heat exhaustion affects the brain in a different way and the ongoing symptoms are related to the body's reaction to heat or sun. Not everyone experiences ongoing sensitivity, and yours may ease off. But in my case, it was permanent. I remember those two incidents very well to this day, man I was sick (unbelievable). So in a way I am not surprised.
Avatar m tn I remembered then in high school I got heat exhaustion when I went out for the field hockey team and had a fever of 103 and it took a whole day to recover and I was an athlete then, but not now. 2 of my coworkers have both lost days to heat so far and neither of them have heart issues so I'm being very cautious from now on.
Avatar f tn A year ago I believe I suffered some heat exhaustion/stroke and since then, when i start getting hot during activities, i get chills up and down my spine, arms and legs. My calf muscle on my left side will tingle/becomes numb, i get dizzy , my face gets red, i can feel my heart pounding in my head and my breathing is rapid but shallow and i have trouble regulating it for a few minutes. It scares me.
Avatar m tn i was running in the sun for 3 hours and it was very hot suddenly i felt like my heart is beating rapidly and skipping beats and i was sweating and fatigued i stopped in a shady place for sometime and it all went back to normal, but the skipped beats kept happening to me afterwards for about a week, was it exhaustion or stroke?
Avatar m tn I have of course stopped, and 4 days later, only mild fever, face still swollen, and awful dry mouth. Still exhausted, and now experiencing the associated 'withdrawal rash' side effect of the foam. It is crap. BUT I'm a trooper - if I can handle this, you all can handle it too. Stick it out, but be warned!!
Avatar m tn I read about heat exhaustion and heat stroke but those happen during the exercise (if overdone), not an hour after in an air conditioned room and those symptoms are far more severe than what I had. My question is, why do I get a fever and drowsiness only an hour after the exercise but feel completely fine and barely tired (though sweating a lot) during and right after it? I drink a lot of water before and after.
Avatar n tn My whole body ached and I was running a fever of 104. I went to the hospital and my white cell count was over 19,000. They couldnt find anything wrong but gave ceftin thinking I had an infection. A week later I got sick again. My white cell count is lower but still high. Im not running a fever anymore but im having pain in my stomach and my side. I feel sick to the stomach and ive been have mucus in my stool. I've also been having headaches and dizziness.
Avatar n tn It sounds like your dog is suffering from heat exhaustion, so make sure she has access to plenty of fresh water. Heat exhaustion can quickly go to full-blown heat stroke which can be fatal if not treated. Hosing her down with the water hose in the heat of the day or after a walk will help. I recall my boss from several years ago who had an Italian Greyhound who nearly died of heat stroke here in Texas.
Avatar m tn I was walking in the sun for about two hours the weather was very hot it was 45 c i think, suddenly i felt like my heart is racing so fast with PVCs or skipped beats and i was sweating and very fatigued i went to a cool place where i drunk lots of fluids and it all went back to normal(but PVCs lasted for a week then it went away), was it Afib or just heat exhaustion? i want to a cardiologist and he said my heart muscle is fine, i run every day for 6 km, should i be concerned?
Avatar m tn t used to this type of weather. Some end up in the hospital with heat stroke, heat exhaustion or dehydration.
Avatar m tn I drink a lot of water but when I go for a walk I get heat exhaustion dry mouth pell wight skin need to sit-down fast but I don't walk that much the wether her is 85 and I'm only 27 no I don't take any meds drugs or alcohol Is it heat exhaustion
Avatar m tn I had a 100.8 fever and body aches and exhaustion last night then today same but fever is gone. Whst could this be if I have no gastro or cold symptoms?
Avatar m tn It has really interfered with my ability to think clearly and lucidly. Is it possible that these car naps caused me to have some sort of heat exhaustion damage to my brain? Even if I were extremely exhausted, would my body be alerted out of sleep when the temperature or CO2 level gets too high before any damage to my nervous system begins? I have been to a neurologist several years ago and he says that eventually the headaches will go away.
Avatar f tn E/CFS does anyone find that their pain levels and exhaustion levels decreases in warmer weather and is extremely severe in winter months?
Avatar n tn One should also contact a doctor if the rash seems worse and fever is present. In most cases, prickly heat will resolve within a few weeks without medical attention or intervention. Regards.
Avatar f tn Hi, It is good that you are feeling better already. Heat-related illness such as heat exhaustion occurs when your body gets too hot. This can be caused by physical exercise or hot weather. It can present with heavy sweating, feeling weak, dizziness, nausea, headache, fast heartbeat and dark-colored urine, which indicates dehydration. It is important that you get out of the heat quickly. Drink plenty of water or other fluids.

Avatar f tn i am in nursing school and from what we were told and the patient follow up we did, sometimes we sweat entirely too much and if it were to be heat exhaustion and was not taken care of it could lead to a heat stroke and if water isn't helping as much as it should try drinking a gatorade, sometimes gatorade is actually better for you in the heat than the water bc of the electrolytes in it. but glad you are doing better!
Avatar m tn i was walking in the sun for probably 3 hours it was very hot 46 c this day, suddenly i felt my heart is racing and beating so fast with 3 ectopic beats in very few second, i stopped and put my hand on my heart it was beating too fast and strong, i cooled myself down and drank some fluids it all went back to normal(but the ectopic beats lasted for a week), went to a cardiologist he said i'm fine and it's just heat exhaustion, is it AFib or just palpitations with heat exhaustion?
