Avatar m tn You might be losing too many salts due to sweating and on that exhaustion episode might have lost minerals in salts. You have to rehydreate yourself with water and salts. Measure your blood pressure and keep it in normal range and go for testing of your minerals. Take care!
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 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 f tn I have read several commments regarding heat stroke/exhaustion. No one has mentioned swelling. If I exert myself when temps are hot and humidity high, my face and ears swell up. They itch and are bright red. The only thing that seems to help is a steroid shot and prednisone pack. My face and ears will peel almost like a sunburn. Does this happen to anyone out there? If I sweat during the night I will get itchy. Gold Bond medicated powder helps tremendously.

Avatar n tn My step Dad experience heat exhaustion 3 days ago and ever since when he poops he bleeds. Is this connected and should he go to the ER right away?
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 n tn Me again. Since I posted, I have done nothing but worry about going along with heat exhaustion, altho I imagine this is the case. But as the other two have said, better safe than sorry, and I DO think it's rather unusual for an 18-year-old to get so hot from just a shower that she'd lose her sense of reality for ANY length of time...unless she's terrible about drinking plenty of water.
Avatar f tn Sometimes I can distract myself enough with other activities but it always catches up with me and causes exhaustion. I am wondering if at this point neck exercises would help. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn Hi, welcome to the forum, if one is not pregnant and there is absence of menses for more than 3 cycles or 6 months is known as secondary amenorrhea. The causes to be ruled out are hypothalamic dysfunction, Infiltrative lesions and Pituitary disease, Hyperprolactinemia, other sellar masses, Thyroid disease, ovarian disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian failure and uterine disease. It is quite important to evaluate systematically.
Avatar f tn Heat exhaustion rather than heat stroke will cause excessive sweating. This happens due to being overheated and sweating and so forth then you could get heat stroke after that. See my post above for what to do.
Avatar f tn But staff told me that heat causes contractions. Ita been high 90s to the 100s where I live. Has anyone heard of this?
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 don't know about early labor but you could easily get heat exhaustion or heat stroke so take extra care and make sure you are staying hydrated and do anything you can to try and keep yourself cool.

Avatar m tn I have had 2 heart attacks (age 46 and 48) from clots in a tiny artery, branch of a branch of LAD and ever since have issues breathing when it's humid outside. I am working for 1 month in a carpenter shop with no A/C, only fans and it has been as high as 99. I think I've gotten heat exhaustion twice now, missed 2 days of work. This is not my career, only a 1 month learning experience and I'm considering going to half days, early mornings only.
Avatar m tn These are muscle twitching or fasciculation caused by minor muscle contractions. The causes can vary from caffeine overdose, exercise, heat exhaustion, nutrient deficiency, stress and sudden withdrawal of certain medications like benzodiazepines, magnesium deficiency if you had prolonged diarrhea.
Avatar f tn s important to know the signs/symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and steps you can take to prevent them. Medications can also affect the body's ability to regulate temperature, so it might be worth asking your pharmacist some questions on this topic. It was brutal here yesterday with the temperature hitting 101 and the heat index registering 116. Hope everybody stays cool and has a great weekend.
Avatar m tn Thank you for taking the time to explain what you know about anhidrosis. I really appreciate that. Since Hannah is only three.. she cannot verbalize how she actually feels physically.. I was wondering, if you know of a support group, consisting of people who have this disorder, so we could get more of an understanding, of how they actually feel .. we don't know .. if we keep her in a cool place.. which we do.. and she still has hot skin.. is she feeling ok??
