Common Questions and Answers about Heat exhaustion high blood pressure
heat
About a month ago I completed a 2-hour, 40 mile bike ride in the summer heat & humidity and suffered severe heat exhaustion which included nausea, dizziness, extremely high rate, dehydration, etc. Ever since that time it seems by body has become extremely intolerant to high heat & humidity. Just being out in the heat in a sedentary manner causes my heart to beat out of my chest and I end up extremely dizzy & lightheaded.
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.
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.
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.
I am 20 years old eight months pregnant and after suffering from extream heat issues and light headiness i was told to check my blood pressure which was at 147/35 than checking my heart rate was at 103 per min. Is this within normal limits or should i be concerned...or is this natural at this stage of pregnancy.
m asking because my mother has heart problems and also high blood pressure. I have a numerous amount of health issues including but not limited to: severe heat intolerance - when in the heat, my heart beats ridiculously fast and I hard. I feel faint and weak. Caffeine makes me feel ill as well. I am trembling constantly, I have difficulty concentrating. Frequent headaches. Severe anxiety. My heart beats extremely fast with just the smallest exertion of energy.
Oops...you list low blood pressure not high lol. I wasn't too sure about low blood pressure with magnesium deficiency so I had a quick look and found this: "Magnesium is important in the rhythm control of the heart -- low magnesium indirectly causes low blood pressure by affecting the function of the heart.
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.
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.
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.
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?
If you are gasping for air and feeling like you are going to pass out when exerting to go up stairs, I would mention this to your doctor. Probably fine but worth mentioning. Do you have high blood pressure or anything. I found that in my first trimester, I was like 'wiped out'. Like I wanted to sleep a lot more and could nap at any time. Just really tired. But not really where I couldn't catch my breath and was dizzy when I did things.
Because I was outside the day it happened, the emergency department wrote it off as heat exhaustion. After blood labs, a chest x-ray, ekg, thyroid check and A1c, my pcp finally said that it must have been a virus of some kind. Since then Ive been experiencing occasional PVCs and a standing HR that climbs back into the 120-140s. When I sit back down it drops into the 80s-90s. A couple of weeks ago my pcp put me on a low dose of propranalol. This put at 70s-80s sitting and 100-110 standing.
My boyfriend has been struggling with high blood pressure since 12/25/2012 after getting the flu. He had been given several different blood pressure medications, finally one brought his blood pressure down as well as his body temperature which caused a loud ringing in his ear referred to as "Tinnitus".
Doctors refused to admit the prescription had anything to do with his new symptom, but decided to take him off his blood pressure medication and advised him to exercise.
