heat

Avatar f tn The other neurological disorder that makes symptoms worsen with heat is Mitochondrial disease. Heat plays havoc with the symptoms to the point of having heat stroke. I have to live in the air-conditioning during the summer time, which is why I love the winter so much.
Avatar n tn My grandfather died in 1939 when my mom was only a few months old. There is a discussion among his children regarding the cause of death. My grandfather's brother wrote a history in which he stated that my grandfather died in the hospital "following a gall bladder operation. Following the operation he seemed to be making a satisfactory recovery, but subsequently started to hemorrhage.
82861 tn?1333453911 I just saw a story on the news about a Georgia police dog who died of heat stroke after chasing a suspect. 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.
Avatar f tn The extreme loss of water while working out in that suit, can cause a person to experience symptoms related to heat stroke. Potential health risks include, dehydration, weakness, dizziness, fainting and muscle cramps. Extended use of sauna suits for the purposes of inducing quick weight loss can lead to serious health emergencies including organ failure due to extreme loss of electrolytes and even death related to heat stroke.
Avatar n tn Is your Dad having symptoms? From what I understand, symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis if left untreated have a high risk of death within 1-3 years (50-65%); those statistics don't take into account the presence of severe LAD blockage as well. Overall, open heart surgery carries the risk of death, stroke, and infection. With a person with diabetes, they also have to monitor kidney function very closely, especially if they've already had some renal insufficiency.
506547 tn?1210655204 You may be looking at heat stroke. Get him to a vet NOW! Heat stroke is a medical emergency, and death can come quickly. Soak him down with cool water before you get going. Check his gums - if they're white, he is in shock and you have no time to waste.
Avatar n tn I have heard that once a person has had a heat stroke, they can not tolerate the heat anymore. It seems to do something to our body's chemistry. I have not had a heat stroke, but, I am extremely heat intolerant. I am always hot, and I must be in the A/C or I get short of breath, PVC's and feel horrible. I am even hot in the winter. One thing besides heat stroke that can cause heat intolerance is an over-active thyroid and also a lack of natural progesterone.
10521833 tn?1413513524 Haa When I Get Out I Feel Like Im Gonna Have A Heat Stroke Lolol, & I Dont Even Keep My Water That Hot When Im In !
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 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.
1569985 tn?1328247482 I am on Norpace which has a side effect of making you more susceptible to heat stroke. I just retired and there is a luncheon tomorrow for me and 2-3 others and our temperature is forecast to be 101 with a heat index of 110. I thought I'd go early, and I can go from my air conditioned car to the air conditioned building, but it's about a 5 minute walk between the two. I'm thinking of dressing for the heat, maybe putting some blue ice in my pockets, wearing a straw hat, etc., etc.
562734 tn?1216199186 I'm so sorry. :-( Without an autopsy, there is just no way of knowing for certain what the cause of death is. My own best guess would be a stroke or heart attack, but I'm sure there are plenty of other things that could have killed just as quickly. Did your Dal ever have any kind of symptoms leading up to his collapse?
Avatar m tn My dad is 67 and has had a stroke 18 months ago. He fractured his hip last week"interthrochanteric fracture" and will have a surgery tomorrow. Which anaesthetic is most suitable for him? And what are the risks and probabilities of complications rellated to his stroke history? I mean in figures please.
Avatar n tn The rsik of stroke is higher when in Afib than when not. However, for true statistics, i recommend you look on the american heart association website under their entry for a-fib. Being on blood thinner is the right course of action. Talk to a professional about the true risk differential. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn Back in October my diabetic mother had a stroke on the right side of her brain. I want to know what exactly caused her to pass away. Was it the fact that she couldn't eat, being that she was a diabetic, eventually causing her to go into a coma and die or does the stroke itself do something like hinder her from breathing . Was there something that made her stop breathing because of the stroke itself?
Avatar n tn s after exercise increase the risk of sudden death even in healthy people. I always have them after exercise and after stressful situations. Is this true? I don't want to die from these things, and don't know what to do now.
Avatar m tn Such a shock and heartbreaking when this happens. Could have been heart, stroke, etc. Unfortunately, unless you get a necropsy done, you will probably not know the cause. Hugs.
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.
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 As with heart attack, ive heard your CK level can increase with stroke, in his case heat stroke, as well.. am i correct? Because i do believe that he may have had a heat stroke.. and i wonder if the doctors believed that as well since they ordered a CK test. While researching, i read that the test is ordered if patient had a heart attack, stroke, or something else. But, after seeing his CK level.. You would think the doctors would take further action..
