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 f tn my other neghbor said it looked like a heat stroke but she wasnt out for very long and she had water so i dont know how she could have had a heat stroke
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.
Avatar m tn IF you knew for a fact you were not going to be bad-breeding in any way (ie breeding in weaknesses like bad hip scores, etc) IF you had definite and loving (and dog-wise) homes already for the possible puppies, with people you already knew well, and trusted implicitly, whom you knew for certain were both responsible and also able to provide financially for a dog for the rest of its life. IF you knew for certain those females were healthy enough to BE breed-b-i-t-c-h-e-s.
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 they can not figure out what brought on this stroke! he was over heated, dehydrated,said it could have been a heat stroke but it was in oct 2007 not a hot month.I have had him in and out of doctors offices and still at a dead end.he has developed a few nose bleeds these past two days. should i be concerned?and what should i look for other than passing out spells and numbness. he turns pale out of nowhere.
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 n tn Chinchilla's ears are very important to their thermoregulation. Since chinchilla's normal environment are the mountains of South America, they are resistant to cold and very susceptible to heat related issues, such as heat stroke. The chinchilla's ears function to expel excess body heat to keep the chinchilla cool.
Avatar f tn Believe me, i want to get rid of the cats. But i don't even mess with them. They're my husband's cats. He takes care of them i do not. They just like to annoy me. I honestly only take care of my dog, turtles, and our fish. But like i said, there's absolutely no animals allowed in my baby's room. None have ever gone in there and probably won't ever go in there. I'm keeping my baby away from the animals for quite a while.
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 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 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.
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 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
