2030769 tn?1343647674 thank u. I already talked to the vet. My akita seems normal now but the vet advised me to keep an eye on him and bring him in right away if anything changes. He was out on the balcony earlier, in the shade & was able to come in & out of the house as he wanted. I think what happened was he fell asleep and the heat got to him and when he woke up & stood up, he fell completely over on his side.
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 n tn I began to continue playing the next day and in our second game I started feeling sick again. I ended up having heat stroke and passing out and being taken to the hospital by ambulance. My problem is that ever since then I have had problems with heat intolerance. As soon as it starts to get warm outside, I become extremely uncomfortable and suffer from weakness, headaches, dizziness, and sometimes vomiting.
Avatar n tn my 4 yr old daughter was playin out in the heat all day and she fell and passed out and I picked her up and her arm was stiff
Avatar f tn i would play soccer 3 to 4 times a week in al kinds of weather especially in the heat since i am in Texas. Now if i am in the heat for any longer than 5 minutes i feel shaky and weak. Hard to describe. Basically if its not under 70 degrees i feel like i am gonna have a heat stroke. This goes along with a ton of other things i have been feeling.
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 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 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 n tn Hello, Since you have anhidrosis, excessive exercise can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke. To prevent this, avoid excessive exercise, exercise in cooler climate, drink plenty of water, wear appropriate clothing and avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol as these liquids are dehydrating. Also get an evaluation done from a physician and check out the possible cause of anhidrosis.
Avatar m tn It probably was just the heat, especially if you followed up with a cardiologist and everything checked out. Keep hydrated with plenty of water and if this happens again, head back to the doctor to check again.
Avatar f tn CPS results from damage to an area of the brain called the thalamus, which is involved with sensory perception and movement. The pain is a mixture of sensations, including heat and cold, burning, tingling, numbness, and sharp stabbing and underlying aching pain. It is intense in the area affected by the stroke, such as the face, extremities or trunk on one side, and is made worse by movement and temperature changes, especially cold temperatures." https://www.ninds.nih.
Avatar f tn Its fine to go swimming, however I highly doubt you had heat stroke. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and you would need to be hospitalized. What you are probably referring to is heat exhaustion.
583167 tn?1218308101 me too. The heat is more than I can handle I live in Canada and I have both extremes of weather but the heat does me in completely I sleep with my window open in the winter. I ride public transportation and the heat is terrible I look at other passengers and think can't you feel this were all gonna die of heat stroke! But when I open a window they look at me like I'm nuts! But it's not them of course it's me.
Avatar f tn I'm in limboland, but I've always been heat sensitive. I had heat stroke when I was younger and have had or been on the edge of heat exhaustion quite a few times. I strongly dislike summer due to the heat. I'm in upstate NY and our summer isn't horrible, but we tend to be humid. And, I can count on at least 2 weeks worth of 90+ heat (over 100 with the heat index). In the last year, when I'm overheated it seems worse then it used to.
Avatar f tn No heat wave this year but last year it was horrible, and its very dangerous to get a heat stroke, but in Montreal they have a heat wave and humidity its horrible, and that his not a good combination for me because Im allergic to water and my own sweet so I can't do anything :(
Avatar n tn After a couple of days in the hospital, the result was the discovery of the previously undetected stroke and a recommended rehabilitation plan to that of a stroke. The key to me is that heat exhaustion triggered this lapse or acute stage of confusion and short term memory loss. My dad is under the care of a cognitive therapist and is scheduled to meet with a neuropsychologist later in September. Did your neuropsychologist consider the stroke/heat exhaustion connection?
Avatar f tn It sounds like you are getting dehydrated and almost a heat stroke. Try to keep very hydrated and don't stay in the car long without AC. Bring water and a wet wash cloth to keep cool. You may want to get your blood electrolytes take (sodium , potassium, chloride and CO2) to see if you have a imbalance of these. You can also drink gatoraide and a banana to try to increase your potassium.
Avatar f tn s worth mentioning. ERs are for emergencies and although a heat stroke is a true emergency, you waking up and passing out wouldn't give them the idea that it was heat stroke/exhaustion unless you forfeited the happenings of the prior day. Their job is to make sure you're not actively dying and you weren't, that time passed and you were stable other than probably being very dehydrated at that point. Dehydration usually accompanies any heat injury.
Avatar f tn I woke up one morning and my face was tight/ numbish. It got worse throughout the day and I went to the ER where they did a CT scan (normal), blood work (normal), ekg (normal). The facial numbness never went away for more than a few hours at a time, but started switching sides and coming and going. I started having headaches, which I never had before. Then I got pregnant on accident and soon after started another symptom. I felt tingles/prickles all over....every side, all parts....
Avatar m tn The symptoms of dizziness or hypotension, bradycardia and shortness of breath do not make you more prone for a heat stroke. Though you may have dehydration due to heat stroke which can cause dizziness. You need a cardiac assessment for conditions like heart blocks where the heart rate is decreased causing hypotension as a result. Anemia could also be a cause for dizziness and shortness of breath on walking but there should be accompanying tachycardia in that case.
Avatar f tn I've been to the doctor many times. He has run blood tests and done check ups and says everything is fine and can't find anything. He thinks it's just my anextiety. I don't think it is. I am a 32 yr old male.
377493 tn?1356502149 I have a very fair skinned/fair haired 17 month old and want to make sure I am taking the appropriate steps to prevent heat stroke, sun stroke, etc. I know the obvious ones...sun screen, I always put a hat on him (which, to be honest, he promptly takes off..lol), always always have lots of water and continuously offer it and keep him in the shade as much as possible. He loves to be outdoors and we spend as much time as possible doing outdoor activities and playing outside.
Avatar m tn As far as heat stroke is concerned, many of us with autonomic dysfunction have reduced ability to sweat and have heat intolerance. For those with this problem it is easier to get heat stroke. Drinking water, using A/C, using misters and even wearing a cooling vest have been used by some of us. Have you had a tilt table test? Have you had any heart tests? Are you anemic or have any endocrine problems?
82861 tn?1333453911 Let that death serve a purpose and keep your dogs cool and hydrated. Heat stroke can strike very quickly and with no real warning unless you know what to look for. If the National Weather Service issues a heat advisory, heat watch or heat warning, treat your pets the same way you would treat yourself and stay inside with the air conditioner. Limit outdoor time and keep activity to a minimum, particularly in the afternoon hours. Be cool!
4898758 tn?1373910879 u could be getting dehydrated or suffering from heat stroke. Best of luck to you and hope u feel better soon!
