82861 tn?1333453911 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!

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 m tn Truly, there are no doctors on this site. The fact you didn't pass out means it was probably not heat stroke, as you'd have likely ended up in the hospital when some passerby found you lying face down. The continued feeling of skipped beats could be skipped beats or just feeling like you're having skipped beats. But only a doctor's exam will tell you if something happened.
675347 tn?1365460645 Most people who love their dogs are careful, and would NEVER leave dogs in cars in hot weather. But I saw the news tonight. In the UK two policemen (!) locked 2 German Shepherds in the police van, and when they came back the dogs were dead from heat stroke. Strangely, following this news item was a TV programme about the RSPCA (Animal welfare) where the officers found a dog dead in a car.
Avatar f tn Is it bad to be in the heat. I feel like crap and I wamma get sick and soo thirsty. I have to work on the weekends and its like 100 hundred degrees ): any suggestions?
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 i have been watching him go, and he is no longer struggeling. he just squats and does it covers it and wanders off. normally in heat like this i see 2-3 spots. i watch my pets haabits as they are generally able to help tell eaarly on if there is a problem. was he possibly just suffering the same problem i have with extreme heat? we were sxperiencing our first heat wave of the year.
Avatar f tn I had a severe heat stroke when I was 16 yrs.old. I can tell you what to expect, and how to handle it. I almost died from mine and since then I have never been the same. It did something to my immune system. If someone near me gets a cold, I get it four times worse than they do. I've almost died from the flu before too. I too get hot easily and my head starts to pound when I've been in the heat too long.
Avatar f tn He has not shown a heat differance like her so it made me wonder if its the in heat cycle. Im just trying to gather info at this point. I will ask the vet today of course but would like more than one opinion to make sure im giving my pets the best care. I also intend to call the breeder but again I value this forum greatly. Thank you.
Avatar f tn So today I decided since I didn't get to go to sleep til midnight I was gonna go back to sleep after got my brothers off for the day. So I fell asleep and am now just getting up. Sad part is waking up involves putting a diaper on my puppy cause she's in heat. And fighting with a cat for my hair tie ugh. So many animals.
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 m tn Brief storage at temperatures between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) is permitted. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep ribavirin capsules out of the reach of children and away from pets. http://www.drugs.com/cdi/ribavirin-capsules.
Avatar n tn org - but also applies to pets) Also called TIAs, transient ischemic attacks are minor or warning strokes. In a TIA, conditions indicative of an ischemic stroke are present and the typical stroke warning signs develop. However, the obstruction (blood clot) occurs for a short time and tends to resolve itself through normal mechanisms. Even though the symptoms disappear after a short time, TIAs are strong indicators of a possible major stroke.
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 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 No pets, no travel, no flu like symptons, no history of asthma or any other allergies, now some of the spots look more like a heat rash, but they go away and come back in a different spot, either as a dot or as a small patch. Only on her chest and stomach, last time i went to the dr they said it was a mild case of chicken pox, because she was vaccinated, but now this is the same thing so I don't think it was pox the first time either.
Avatar m tn Hi there. 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.
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?
Avatar f tn You're likely just dehydrated if you've had heat stroke twice. Dehydration can cause contractions. I suggest staying in the shade and drinking lots of water.
