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.

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.

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.

I am 29. Car accident in 2000. In 2007 herniated my L5-S1. I now have severe pain ticking from the waist down. In the summer 2008 I started feeling like my ankle was coming out of joint (it still does) and I had severe "charlie horses" (i still get these, but both legs, now). I had a CT scan the verified a mass in my cuboid bone. In August 2008 I had a 3-phase bone scan that revealed nothing.

The New York City Council passed a bill this month mandating blankets on working carriage horses during the winter. My 1875 cavalry manual states that working horses should under no circumstances be blanketed except in camp or stables. I'm interested in comments.

I had the job of baby-sitting my neighbors 4 horses and 2 golden retrievers for the weekend. everything went well or so I thought. the day they left they had fed their dogs and I was to feed them sat. night and theyd be back on sunday to feed them. pretty easy huh? NOT! let me go back a little. they have 4 dogs. 2 of them are 12 yrs old and have been together since they were 6 wks old.

ve always been told stretching your legs before bed is supposed to help. I get really horrible Charlie horses in the morning unless I go for a walk the night before.

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.

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.

s important to know the signs/symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and steps you can take to prevent them. Medications can also affect the body's ability to regulate temperature, so it might be worth asking your pharmacist some questions on this topic. It was brutal here yesterday with the temperature hitting 101 and the heat index registering 116. Hope everybody stays cool and has a great weekend.

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 :(

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?

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.

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.

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.

ve been thrown and drug by several horses. Stepped on and cracked a rib. In about the last 6-8 months almost every time I move my back the right way it pops. If I sit up straight it cracks and pops and it relieves the constant pain for a few seconds then it's back. Trying to get to the doctor but it can get extremely painful at times. It gets so bad that it will knock the wind out of me when I move the right way sometimes. Any advice?? Help!!

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?

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!

she have been light headed from the heat or she had a slight case of heat stroke 9 not TO serious ). just take her to docter if it continues , and always remember those " time to come inside breaks " to get water and re apply sunscreen. Also make sure she has lots of water even i know some little kids dont like it.

No wonder I've been boiling all day! I swear I walk and start sweating.

It sounds like you may be experiencing Charley horses (which are muscle cramps/ spasms) at night. These can be caused by a number of things including dehydration, low potassium, low calcium or low magnesium levels, or overuse or injury to the muscle. Charley horses are very painful. When you start to feel the pain you could try and alleviate it before it gets bad. You can massage the muscle, apply heat first and then ice once the cramping stops, NSAIDS such as ibuprofen can be helpful.
