heat stroke thyroid

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.

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.

all Im only 25 and have just been diagnosed with hyperthryoidism, i get the sweats, the palpataions, the hot flushes, the heat rash all over my face and neck, nausea, vomiting, heat sensitivity - (like feeling heat stroke in 23 degree whether) weakness - nevousness, shakiness. insomnia, out of breath... it could go on.. alot of the above issues make sense now.. which is a good thing..

I have under active thyroid and secondary hyperdydrosis and im a landscaper when i work in the heat I start to get the feelings of a heat stroke is this cause by thyroid and secondary hyperhydrosis i drink plenty of water during the day should i stay out of the sun and find a different job i have been feeling so weak and tired but i cant sleep at night what else could be causing this plaese help im so lost right now

I forgot to mention i listed the heat stroke symptoms since you mention going out into the heat. Hyperthyroidism or thyroid storm does not cause heat stroke.

To me what you are describing whilst exercising (running), wouldn't actually be unexpected, if you are also getting hot and sweating more readily even when your not running. You'd be hitting heat exhaustion/heat stroke territory a lot faster than normal, if your body already isn't cooling through your skin properly, the addition of running would be demanding oxygen goes to the muscles in your legs and away from your skin.

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.

Take citrus fruits like orange, take a banana a day, drink lemonade with a pinch of salt, and it would also be useful to take oral rehydration solution from time to time. This will also prevent heat stroke. If this does not help, consult your PCP to rule out thyroid issues and diabetes. Take care!

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.

Hello Dear, Lack of sweat could be just a normal variation in your daughter’s body cooling mechanism or there could be the following possibilities- skin diseases or conditions that can block or clog sweat ducts ,injury to the skin and sweat glands, including burns ,dehydration and heat stroke ,malfunctions of the hypothalamus (the area of the brain that regulates temperature), or other neurological conditions,thyroid gland problems ,use of certain medications .

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.

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?

Yep, it is often thyroid related. I woke up tonight too hot and my heat isn't even on. It's so hard to sleep when the body is acting like that. I started using just one kelp capsule each day with food. It does seem to help with the chronic constipation a little bit, but the other symptoms don't seem to be reducing. I have been chronically iodine deficient for years, so I knew that using the kelp according to the instructions was safe for me to do so.

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.

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!

Low blood pressure can be associated with hormonal problems like underactive thyroid, diabetes mellitus, low blood sugar, liver disease, heat stroke, heart failure etc.Certain diseases like autonomic neuropathy, nutritional diseases, and cardiovascular diseases can lead to low B.P .Drink more fluids and water. Several medications can be used to treat low blood pressure especially orthostatic hypotension. A drug like fludrocortisone is often used to treat this form of low blood pressure.
