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.

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.

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 My condition started the 24th and started treatment 26th. Needed advice on either draining and flushing, keep current plan wrapped and iced? I dont believe its systemic, but does have a little ball at injection site and believe the diluting agent may have been contaiminated.

I do not know the difference or if they are the same or how it is treated. I have a follow up appt with my doctor, but worry I may have to have surgery.
Avatar m tn Larry Goldstein, MD, professor of neurology at Duke University Medical Center and director of the Duke Stroke Center, Durham, North Carolina, was cautious. "The thing to keep in mind is that there are very limited data on these patients," he said.

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.
Avatar n tn While his CHADS2VaSC score is zero do you believe taking 81mg of aspirin would be called for? His doctor seems okay with no treatment considering his episodes have all converted on their own in less than 24 hours. I wanted to get you opinion on this decision.

Avatar f tn I researched Evista online and found that it is linked to increased risk of ovarian cancer and stroke, in addition to other nasty symptoms I have never experienced (including hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia). I am afraid to take this drug, too, and don't know what to do. Has anyone else been in this situation?
Avatar m tn Another one that is possible is hyperthermia or heat stroke. It may have been hot in the garage and the dog could get heat stroke stuck in a hot unventilated area. Of course, your dog's illness may be unrelated to the garage episode. If unrelated, there could be many possibilities, such as: back pain from disk disease, pain from other causes, such as a soft tissue injury, Lyme or other tick borne disease, dietary indiscretion causing GI discomfort and many more...
