Avatar m tn t mean they will receive an organ. The screening takes months, finding a suitable organ may never happen, or be too late. Testing has to happen on a yearly basis, until a organ is found....the list goes on and on of "why not", and the rules "pro for transplant" are written in stone somewhere, I believe. I wonder if your mother in law is up to the challenge.
Avatar f tn Dogs can get heat exhaustion and heat stroke just like people, and heat stroke can be fatal without immediate medical support. It's so easy to forget proper hydration and cooling during the beginning of the summer months. I'm guilty of that myself. Living in a sub-tropical region and being sensitive to heat, I have to force water and Gatorade down my throat regularly if I'm outside.
Avatar f tn When a stroke is severe enough to cause a coma, it usually depresses the autonomic nervous system, which stops the breathing process, can hinder the heartbeat, shut down the liver and kidneys, and cause death by multiple organ failure.

Avatar m tn saw FOAM in her mouth-I remembered she looked so scared as they said it was probably HEAT STROKE-10/15mins. pass they call us in. I was anxious to see her okay-but the doctor came in alone. My mom asked what the COD was-her answer: We don't know. As soon as we took her back she let go & she died. Now, me & my mom were suspicious that Angel dyed from a shock from the cold water. she kept saying that it was probably internal cancer & also her age.
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.
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.

Blood clotting during sepsis causes reduced blood flow to limbs and vital organs, and can lead to organ failure or gangrene (damage to tissues). "What causes sepsis?

438204 tn?1254077248 She came around but is still not sure what is reality and what is fiction. They have since ruled out stroke and heart failure as she has liver failure and had a bleed in her stomach. She is already at stage 4 Kidney failure and has been for a couple of years and her health has deteriorated the past few months to the point we were expecting something big like this to happen. 5 Years ago she had heart surgery as she has irregular heart beat, metal valve fluid on her lungs.

Avatar n tn i have been suffering from shortness of breath for 5 months.recently i have a echocardiogram. it shows that my stroke volume is 47 ml . is this is a normal value or it is a sign of a heart disease? my ef is 61%.
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 n tn Although your symptoms are suggestive of an anxiety attack, vertigo resulting from positional changes (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), Meniere’s disease, stroke, inner ear or vestibular problems, low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension) or sugar (hypoglycemia), increased body temperature (heat stroke) or inadequate heart output (e.g. cardiomyopathy or arrhythmias) should also be considered.
Avatar f tn At your age. And kind of organ failure is rare lol dont google its evil! All our worst enemy. You could possibly have a urine infection though. Get a urine sample to your doctor and have it tested. A short course of antibiotics fixes this if thats the case :D Drink plenty of water.
