I dealt with this a lot in the Army as a medic (even received a medal for saving two heat stroke patients and an allergic reaction patient all at the same time. I was with one other medic and a couple other soldiers.) great video on what and how to identify and treat. But it is also 100% preventable. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, know your level of fitness and limit your exertion accordingly. Oh and Hydrate some more!!!! :-)
@@patana256 Heat Injuries are caused by heat and prevented/treated by cooling (Cold Water Immersion, Iced Sheets, Chilled IV, etc.). You need local WBGT and good valid training. HI are a heat injury, not a hydration injury.
Hydration and electrolytes won't necessarily prevent it. I had multiple heat strokes to the point where I was full blown dreaming with my eyes open and didn't pee for 24 hours eventhough I went through probably a gallon of water and a few electrolyte packs. When you're carrying 100 pounds marching for 20 hours in the extreme heat your body can't absorb water as fast as it sweats it out. And you can still get overheated when fully hydrated.
I had heatstroke once while hiking. I somehow managed to walk all the way back across town to home (which took more than 30 minutes but I think any damage I got was negligible) and immediately took an ice shower. I had my phone out and ready to dial 911 on the walk home. I'm damn lucky I didn't pass out in the middle of the woods. Determination is a hell of a drug. Heatstroke feels like your body is cooking from the inside, like you're just radiating heat. Also there's the throbbing headache, and sometimes your vision might go wonky. If possible, bring ice with you on long walks and keep your phone charged and with you. In an emergency, you can apply ice to the neck, armpits and groin. They're the areas with the most blood vessels... or something.
I love learning from you bc you dont just make it seem boring and show us diagrams but you make a story out of it and while the story is going you throw in facts and information who else loves learning from ted-ed?
i got this during a big heat wave i was in line for a water ride and i was dehydrated hungry and extremely hot i passed out it was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me i got dizzy and no matter how hard i tried to open my eyes everything just got dark
Me too! I was so hungry i didint eat all day. and i had my heat stroke at 3:00Pm wich ment i havent eaten for 24+ hours. I didint pass out but i got extremly dizzy and felt like i was gping to collapse.
You don't even have to exert yourself very much if the weather is already very hot and humid. I passed out during a fairly easy hike back in 1988, when my area was experiencing 105°F or higher heat index -- but I didn't know that when I set off. I was fortunate that I succumbed to the heat in a shady spot, or I might not be here to tell you about it now. As it was, I was unconscious for 2-3 hours, and felt very off for the next couple of days after overheating myself so badly.
My goodness.You will get pasma. Sorry but pasma is a Tagalog word with no English translation. It means muscular pain induced by sudden temperature changes.
+David Ndiulor The feeling of surprise when something randomly happens that you didn't expect. May also mean when you are slightly electrified but it isn't as deadly.
+David Ndiulor Physiologically speaking and in the case of this video, changing ones body temperature from very hot to very cold way too fast can send the body into shock aka cold shock response. That's what happen to people that fall on ice cold waters. The heart can go haywire until it stops, the blood pressure lowers even more among other things. It's a sudden change in what's normal in your body.
+Paola Rosario yeah happened to this guy my brother knew from school, the guy and friends we're in the Jacuzzi and the guy out and went straight to the lake and killed him from shock
MikuMikuOrenjiBlossom Good God. Yeah, some Jacuzzi, I don't know if everywhere else but where I come from they do, put a warning that if you want to move from the Jacuzzi to the pool you wait a little while until your body's temperature goes back to normal. Another example from sudden shock. Hot to cold way to quickly.
This used to happen to me very often during field days, I used to drop to the ground after running because of the heat... What made me feel better was me being given a cold soda in my head and going for some shade (avoiding the sun).
Just don't try to measure temperature yourself, if they find you unconscious with something stuck in your butt, you might send investigators on the wrong path :)
I had a heat stroke yesterday, feet and hands shaking and severe tingling getting worse in hands and feet could not get up off the ground, finally a nabor brought over a cold water i downed it and felt a lot better so she got me another one that helped a lot, the paramedics just took my blood pressure it was at 140 for a long time, i don't have insurance so i had to sigh a paper saying i refused a trip to the hospital they had no idea what my temp was because they didn't check, they just wanted my name and address so they would know where to send the bill.
had a heatstroke a couple weeks back when I was roughhousing with some siblings of a friend, felt real dizzy, had a ton of blood pumping into my head, and the next thing I knew I passed out. apparently when I lost consciousness I was shaking uncontrollably and moaning alot, and even though i was down for only about 10-15 seconds, I had a really trippy dream that seemed to last around 5 minutes. thankfully I didnt have to do anything like go to the hospital, I just drank a ton of water by a nearby water fountain, friends made sure I was okay for the next hour or so before letting me head home
I had a heat stroke, but inside my room, I did some very intense cardios, and in the end i started feeling dizzy and i got to my dad in time, where i passed out.
It's always important to be constantly hydrated or things like this happen. In 2015, I was cycling in 119 degree farenheit heat for almost 2 hours, I quickly went through 2 gallons of water, still my head was tingling, and I felt the chills, an onset of heat stroke, when I started getting dizzy I pulled into some shade and waited out the heat. I had to wait about an hour until about 540 PM when it was bareable to continue on.
I'm from a tropical country, and there it is common knowledge that if someone's out under the sun for a long time, they MUST wet their head fairly often, to avoid a sun/heat/blah-stroke. Specially people with darker hair. I moved to a northern country some years ago and I was surprised that nobody knew about this, in fact nobody believed me when I told them I needed to wet my head if we were outside on a walk/hike. At least not until I nearly passed out. But that doesn't require me doing intensive exercise (heck, if I were at a pool I had to make sure I'd dunk completely underwater every so often to avoid that, even if I was doing nothing but laying around), as long as I'm under the sun for a prolonged amount of time is enough to cause an effect.
my body overheats all the time something's wrong with my hypothalamus. it's a very scary thing. I'm always sweating out of control and everyone else seems to be fine even on a cold day
Hypothalamus is just 1 part of na-k-h2o homeostasis. your body is wasting sodium, too much BNP or ANP is possible as you don't appear to have SIADH. The research on genetic variants causing sodium wasting is poor as the literature focuses on tumors and other pathologies. This case report discusses this issue, go to the section on treatment: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2912080/ drink 3 oz soy sauce for a hypertonic solution, chicken broth, salt up your food, check sodium levels weekly to stay above 135 . A level half table spoon salt is 3.5 grams (measured on my scale) add that to 12 oz of water for an isotonic solution. Make cool aid with for a desired sweet drink. The bullshit propaganda of 2.3 grams sodium being adequate fails to address for 10-15% of the population that you are a part of. I have the same issue as you, i load up on salt, active in the am to keep a normal blood pressure.
I was just diagnosed with IIH last month and had been in the hospital a few times due to an electrolyte imbalance which caused me to have bad shakes and dehydration. This is going to be a great read thank you so much.
Thank you for the response. I am not a medical doctor and am always learning. I didn't know about IIH till now. I've developed sweating in 40 degree weather walking 3 miles, continued sweating for 20 minutes after stopping. I don't get headaches and male, it's likely another condition for me. Medical treatment Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is aimed at lowering of intracranial pressure, just as is done with heat exhaustion & stroke with the administration of 3% hypertonic saline IV (not the bullshit ice bath) Diuretics for treatment are mentioned www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2908600/ I have received a report of diuretic Acetazolamide causing slow sodium loss as a side effect. Guy had a 105 Na, still conscious as heis sodium loss came over a month, got 3% IV saline. Sodium restricting diets for IIH sounds disastrous in the artcle I linked, this is far from the only reference. My new go to cheap treatment: hypertonic solution Knorr beef bullion, drink it until it tastes salty, stops the sweats, starting to allow some extended walking. MSG is beneficial, it doesn't cause a headache for me.
I know how it is I fainted a couple of times bc of heat and it's just so SCARY! I'm traumatized! Even worse I have to now go in a van to school now that it's summer and 100 degrees, and the AC blows HOT AIR!!!!! I'm REALLY scared
I've almost had a heat stroke in my car multiple times bc I always wear hoodies or any other long sleeved shirts bc of my intense self harm addiction. And just today I was out going for a walk with my gf around the neighborhood and I was getting weaker and weaker with every step I took. My feet and hands were turning red and BURNING. I finally made it back home and as soon as I walk inside, my head started throbbing as if it were a heart beating, my heart rate was high and my whole face was a blood red. I collapsed onto my bed and my head throbbing and headache only got worse. My vision blurred and I was out for about 2 minutes. This all happened 8 hours ago and my head still hurts but only on my left side
The body and how a heat stroke affects the body is interesting thing that I didn't know just how much of a risk it puts on the body. The body runs through a number of different methods to protect the body and keep it from shutting down. It tries to get the body to a safe state. I didnt know just what the heat stroke does to the body, it puts risk on kidneys and other organs all throughout the body, I always thought it overheated you, never knew it hurt organs and many other parts of the body. The overheated state of the body is always dangerous but never knew it could do the things that this video states.
Just did some heavy mountainbiking in 40 degrees celcius the past few days, and I got a bad headache each night. The thought that I could have gotten heat stroke is scary.
The headache, at least for me starts way way before I have a heat stroke. I have lived through one and it was terrifying. I get those headaches every summer though. My job is outside and very very physical.
+Arjun Modi I live in Arizona too. In fact my daughter has soccer practice every week in this heat. She plays on a club team not the yay you scored a goal team
Steve Coty When I was in Arizona the 110 to 114 degree heat was hot but did not affect me the way 95 degee heat does here with the crazy high humidity. Dry heat is much nicer at least your sweat drys from your clothes. It would still be rough to do what I do for a living where you are. Its rough anywhere but it does get really hot down off of the highlands.
I think I may have had a heat stroke. My vision got oversaturated and blurry, then it went to all yellow and I collapsed. I couldn't move and had to be carried home, and then I threw up. Was that a heat stroke?
Your comment is 4 years old, so don't mind me, but coaches and parents would likely have a cooler full of ice and water. You could use that as a makeshift tub.
I had a heatstroke playing basketball this year in school. I couldn’t stop hyperventilating and all I could see was a bunch of red lights and lines on my eyesight. It was crazy and I swear I almost passed out because my friends didn’t take me seriously so I had to stumble back into the school by myself barely being able to see or even comprehend what was going on😂
I hate heat strokes I've have had them before many times and no one has called anyone but the one time that they would of was when I was at a camp they all ready had a nurse.
Adrienne I had exhaustion at warped tour '13 . I was looking for any type of shade but it didn't do anything, my vision was growing darker and more stars showed up. So I went to a tent that thought would have some type of support. They offered me a seat and placed a bag of ice behind my neck. They said "it tricks the body into thinking it's cold" and I did get cold in a couple min. I was okay for a while until BVB started playing and I was so done. I just kneeled on the ground gasping for air while have my horns up lmao. Besides that the whole thing was amazing.
No. It was voiced by Michelle Snow. The LESSON however was indeed written by Douglas Casa himself, so you are partially correct as to Casa's relatioj to this video. You just got his part wrong. He wrote it. He didn't narrate it.
Hope that helped! I did like how you took note of that though. I didn't even notice his name in the credits for a second until I stumbled upon your comment. :)
In places with high temperatures AND high humidity, drinking cold sports drinks helps, but cannot completely prevent it, since sweating ends up being much less effective than at places with low humidity. In general, leave from physical activities or shifting to air-conditioned facilities is advised.
exertional heat stroke is one of my favorite types of conditions: Where the primary symptom is also the most essential part of treatment. You get it from exerting yourself way too much, and what happens? You pass out and stop exerting yourself. Sure, you may die without help. But you would've definitely died if your body just keep on going.
Thank you! Denatured proteins was the bit I was needing to understand. Previously I understood the symptoms and treatment from seeing it in others and from experiencing it.
I got my first heat stroke at El morro in San Juan. I'd describe it as all the bad of a drug trip. My vision got weird and my hearing started to suffer and i got dizzy.
My cousin had a heat stroke at Canada's Wonderland after walking around for more than 5 hours. I was with her, we only had a break when the cold air it us on the roller coasters.
Sucks playing football (soccer) in Arizona. I've had times where I feel like I'm on the verge of getting a heat stroke but luckily I've been able to push through until I can overdose myself with cold water.
I had a heat stroke once, i was playing mini golf in 100 deggre weather for 2 hors. No one else felt as hot as i did but then right when we finished, I got dizzy and i almost collapes. The Hospital was not called and i was not cooled down but then i was walked in side the Arcade i was at and i got a soda. i didint order the soda but really i could care less, if it had ice in it it's okay. I ended up cooling dwown enough that i wasn't dizzy but then I started puking, because it was soday and well... let's just say it dosen't sit well when having a heatstroke. We ended up just going home, but then a few hours later i started javing a little trounle breathing. It's still going on today, but i've never told anyone i can't breathe that much anymore. THe reason i dont tell them is really because it's not too bad but i will probaly tell my parents sooner or later.
What you call " really hot" , is mildly warm for us tropic dwellers. I read few years ago that a young guy died of heatstroke at 30c in london. Thats lower than the average human temp. Tell me you're joking.
extreme physical exersion is a killer. Especially when one is not acclimated to extremes. Humidity is also a huge factor. Dry heat is so much different than wet heat. I agree this is a lower heat but yes even you could succumb givin way way to much physical exersion, past your physical limit.
I feel like once I started to get an exertional heat stroke but idk. I went on a bike ride to a garage sale with my brother during the summer. It gets insanely hot where I live, and that day it was about 102°. We biked (mainly uphill) for an hour with one break. We noticed the garage sale was closed, and while we were heading back, I was exhausted, my head was throbbing, and I was breathing really heavy. My brother was very light headed and we both felt like we were going to pass out. We stopped at the nearest convenience store and got some water and we got home alright.
I did a 71 mile bike ride in the mountains and got heat exhaustion. Started to lose my hearing. Felt ill and confused and overall sick. Not a good feeling. The suns apex is what got me.
I almost had a heat stroke yesterday... had these symptoms and it was very scary and I was about to pass out my AC is out in the house 90 degrees for five days
I had a heat stroke in track. We were competing with other schools and every other student in 9th grade came to the stadium; they gave us one water bottle because it was hot outside and - well - we were running. I, the dumbass, decided to save my water. I didn't feel thirsty, and I eat until 3:30 pm. I started off strong : Jumping, Sliding, gliding, sprinting, jogging. After it ended, I collapsed; idk what happened next because the doctors told me that I had memory loss(yes, they also treated me for a heat stroke). What my friends/witnesses told me was that my head slammed into the grass, one teacher (Mr. Thomson) actually carried me to the school's Doctor called an ambulance and my mom, and that's all not much. I wasn't close to death, but I still had to be treated.
Why TED-Ed get much less views than other education channel, when they provide superior animations and narration.
maybe it's because they don't monetize they're videos?
@Emilio Rojas May I ask why?

Because most people would rather believe random facebook posts that scientific knowledge. It’s very sad
if I pass out while playing sports, by all means pour ice water on me, but put away the rectal thermometer...

Ms Sophia your iih vid was very informative. Far better than other 1st person accts on YT. Glad you got a accurate diagnosis after many years
I know how it is I fainted a couple of times bc of heat and it's just so SCARY! I'm traumatized! Even worse I have to now go in a van to school now that it's summer and 100 degrees, and the AC blows HOT AIR!!!!! I'm REALLY scared
1:11 Those chin ups almost gave me a heat stroke xD
LOL XDDDD You just made my day ;)
The animation was so cute 💛
I've almost had a heat stroke in my car multiple times bc I always wear hoodies or any other long sleeved shirts bc of my intense self harm addiction. And just today I was out going for a walk with my gf around the neighborhood and I was getting weaker and weaker with every step I took. My feet and hands were turning red and BURNING. I finally made it back home and as soon as I walk inside, my head started throbbing as if it were a heart beating, my heart rate was high and my whole face was a blood red. I collapsed onto my bed and my head throbbing and headache only got worse. My vision blurred and I was out for about 2 minutes. This all happened 8 hours ago and my head still hurts but only on my left side
What did you end up doing??
No conocía sobre este tema, excelente video. Ahora sé un poco más; su contenido siempre es variado y educativo. 👍
운동성 열사병이 높은 체온으로 세포가 세고 세는 세포가 많아지면 간의 손상과 위장 관 손상과 주요장기가 힘들어질 수 있다는 것을 배우는 좋은 시간이 되었습니다. 열사병의 대응 방법이 매우 중요하다는 것을 배웠습니다. 감사합니다.
Give this man the views he deserves
I'm from India right now it's reaching 45c and above 80% humidity with no rains.
The body and how a heat stroke affects the body is interesting thing that I didn't know just how much of a risk it puts on the body. The body runs through a number of different methods to protect the body and keep it from shutting down. It tries to get the body to a safe state. I didnt know just what the heat stroke does to the body, it puts risk on kidneys and other organs all throughout the body, I always thought it overheated you, never knew it hurt organs and many other parts of the body. The overheated state of the body is always dangerous but never knew it could do the things that this video states.
38.9° is the deadliest tempature
Just did some heavy mountainbiking in 40 degrees celcius the past few days, and I got a bad headache each night. The thought that I could have gotten heat stroke is scary.
The headache, at least for me starts way way before I have a heat stroke. I have lived through one and it was terrifying. I get those headaches every summer though. My job is outside and very very physical.
Good thing you did not get nauseous
I've gone biking in 117 degrees Fahrenheit and it is not fun (Arizona)
+Arjun Modi I live in Arizona too. In fact my daughter has soccer practice every week in this heat. She plays on a club team not the yay you scored a goal team

When I was in Arizona the 110 to 114 degree heat was hot but did not affect me the way 95 degee heat does here with the crazy high humidity. Dry heat is much nicer at least your sweat drys from your clothes. It would still be rough to do what I do for a living where you are. Its rough anywhere but it does get really hot down off of the highlands.
I remember getting heat stroke on a coach in Belgium. I had to sit through it xD
3:36 animation's hand goes behind the eye.
I thought that too but it is just the shadow
Something to remember when I exercise in the garage during summer.
I think I may have had a heat stroke. My vision got oversaturated and blurry, then it went to all yellow and I collapsed. I couldn't move and had to be carried home, and then I threw up. Was that a heat stroke?
Probably
Yes I had it just today my head hurt so bad I was playing baseball for 4 hours and I my eye sight got so blurry and I couldn’t consintrait
Construction workers have to deal with this too, as well as a lot of people working on oil rigs.
Hmm...I wonder wher we'll be able to find a bathtub with water and ice in the middle of a playing field
Your comment is 4 years old, so don't mind me, but coaches and parents would likely have a cooler full of ice and water. You could use that as a makeshift tub.
I had a heatstroke playing basketball this year in school. I couldn’t stop hyperventilating and all I could see was a bunch of red lights and lines on my eyesight. It was crazy and I swear I almost passed out because my friends didn’t take me seriously so I had to stumble back into the school by myself barely being able to see or even comprehend what was going on😂
Sorry man, that's rough. Glad you made it out 🤝
This happened with me two times while travelling on the bus during the summer months last year. It drove me unconscious!
Thank _______ I live in Finland! ^^
I nearly had a heatstroke when i was a teenager cause my brother made me walk back & forth to a park from our house.
I hate heat strokes I've have had them before many times and no one has called anyone but the one time that they would of was when I was at a camp they all ready had a nurse.
Who is also here because they almost went down?
I love your voice! 😊
heat stroke frickin sucks
U had it before? Not me.
me neither lol(?)
Adrienne I had exhaustion at warped tour '13 . I was looking for any type of shade but it didn't do anything, my vision was growing darker and more stars showed up. So I went to a tent that thought would have some type of support. They offered me a seat and placed a bag of ice behind my neck. They said "it tricks the body into thinking it's cold" and I did get cold in a couple min. I was okay for a while until BVB started playing and I was so done. I just kneeled on the ground gasping for air while have my horns up lmao. Besides that the whole thing was amazing.
Adrienne I agree, that's why I hate the hot weather. It happened to me when I suffered in heat stroke.
Had definitely ain't no joke
The animation is pretty cute
Yee
I would probably get a heat stroke if I see Scarlett Johansson in real life.
Douglas Casa was the guy who ran the race, right? The video is narrated by Douglas Casa...
No. It was voiced by Michelle Snow. The LESSON however was indeed written by Douglas Casa himself, so you are partially correct as to Casa's relatioj to this video. You just got his part wrong. He wrote it. He didn't narrate it.
Hope that helped! I did like how you took note of that though. I didn't even notice his name in the credits for a second until I stumbled upon your comment. :)
I see...well thank you for informing me about that :) Tiffany Dang
***** actually he created the lesson but did not narrate according to the credits at the end.

ooooooh, incredible 3d animation!!!1
Passing out while cycling, then, falling off on the bike then getting my head squished by incoming traffic
-It's 100% survivable with proper care
Maybe there could be a few words about prevention? Is hydration a factor?
Yes, Because you can sweat more the more you drink so you stay cooler
In places with high temperatures AND high humidity, drinking cold sports drinks helps, but cannot completely prevent it, since sweating ends up being much less effective than at places with low humidity. In general, leave from physical activities or shifting to air-conditioned facilities is advised.
Galactor does not want to stop watching!
Why not adjust sport matches at Summer nights, or in Winter days, avoid Heat Stroke and Cold Shock both.
My 18 year old brother died of a heat stroke last month. He collapsed and died. I miss him so much 😭💔
I’m sorry
I had a heat stroke once but we didnt know untill years lat3r when we accually learned about them
exertional heat stroke is one of my favorite types of conditions: Where the primary symptom is also the most essential part of treatment. You get it from exerting yourself way too much, and what happens? You pass out and stop exerting yourself. Sure, you may die without help. But you would've definitely died if your body just keep on going.
Im six years late but
Niko pfp
Thank you! Denatured proteins was the bit I was needing to understand. Previously I understood the symptoms and treatment from seeing it in others and from experiencing it.
Hey! The guy 16 year old who got heat stroke actually make the video! Douglas Casa!
Oh thank god, I'm 11 and have a fever of 103.1 F (39.5 C) and this showed my mom what to do if I had a heat stroke.
TᕼE ᗷᗩᗷY KᗩᑎGᗩᔕKᕼᗩᑎ GᗩᗰIᑎG You do not have heat stroke. You would be dead
Banana I didn't say I had one. I said *IF* i had it. Anywho, I'm better now.
But you can’t die from it
My grandfather died of heat stroke and was rescued 2 hours later :(
I got my first heat stroke at El morro in San Juan. I'd describe it as all the bad of a drug trip. My vision got weird and my hearing started to suffer and i got dizzy.
One of the great reasons why swimming is such a great exercise, you don't get hot. That's my thought for the hour.
Haha she put the thermometer in and he opened his eyes immediately
Seen this in sports med but i had to check it out again. The animation is soo cute 😌
Thanks TED-Ed
My cousin had a heat stroke at Canada's Wonderland after walking around for more than 5 hours. I was with her, we only had a break when the cold air it us on the roller coasters.
rectal thermometer
-_-
O.O
your picture goes perfectly with the words
Sucks playing football (soccer) in Arizona. I've had times where I feel like I'm on the verge of getting a heat stroke but luckily I've been able to push through until I can overdose myself with cold water.
I had a heat stroke once, i was playing mini golf in 100 deggre weather for 2 hors. No one else felt as hot as i did but then right when we finished, I got dizzy and i almost collapes. The Hospital was not called and i was not cooled down but then i was walked in side the Arcade i was at and i got a soda. i didint order the soda but really i could care less, if it had ice in it it's okay. I ended up cooling dwown enough that i wasn't dizzy but then I started puking, because it was soday and well... let's just say it dosen't sit well when having a heatstroke. We ended up just going home, but then a few hours later i started javing a little trounle breathing. It's still going on today, but i've never told anyone i can't breathe that much anymore. THe reason i dont tell them is really because it's not too bad but i will probaly tell my parents sooner or later.
I never knew the pool full of icy water I had in my backpack would become useful!
Now I don't want to do track and field
Is it really necessary to conduct a rectal thermostatus? Regardless of the heat stroke severity, the body needs to be cooled down
I loved the animation style, very cute
This is really helpful, because it is really hot here in england and where i work is full of elderly persons! Thanks!
Is that supposed to be a joke
What you call " really hot" , is mildly warm for us tropic dwellers. I read few years ago that a young guy died of heatstroke at 30c in london. Thats lower than the average human temp. Tell me you're joking.
extreme physical exersion is a killer. Especially when one is not acclimated to extremes. Humidity is also a huge factor. Dry heat is so much different than wet heat. I agree this is a lower heat but yes even you could succumb givin way way to much physical exersion, past your physical limit.
@@ArjunSingh-nk6oc Any temperature above 27°C is considered dangerous. Having a lower temperature in our surroundings is ideal for our body.
Cool damp rags help, and hydration helps.
I feel like once I started to get an exertional heat stroke but idk. I went on a bike ride to a garage sale with my brother during the summer. It gets insanely hot where I live, and that day it was about 102°. We biked (mainly uphill) for an hour with one break. We noticed the garage sale was closed, and while we were heading back, I was exhausted, my head was throbbing, and I was breathing really heavy. My brother was very light headed and we both felt like we were going to pass out. We stopped at the nearest convenience store and got some water and we got home alright.
I did a 71 mile bike ride in the mountains and got heat exhaustion. Started to lose my hearing. Felt ill and confused and overall sick. Not a good feeling. The suns apex is what got me.
How did you recover eventually? Did you go to hospital??
starlite 77 didn’t go to the hospital. But did drink a lot of fluids and was disoriented for a while.
I almost had a heat stroke yesterday... had these symptoms and it was very scary and I was about to pass out my AC is out in the house 90 degrees for five days
good job Jude Pelaez
this narrator has a really soothing voice
A rectal thermometer, did I hear right?
You bet your ass you did...
And the face the animated athlete does afterwards....
what's so funny about rectal thermometers?
Hope it doesn't break in there...
Still better then rectal pills. You can simply pull out the thermometer, but in teh case of pills you have to wait for them to melt inside your butt.
I know some of you guys are going to think oh l shouldn't exercise but it's okay just drink lots of water before you do a lot of exercising
How about drinking water frequently while working out?
My PE teacher had a heat stroke, and he got very heated up and very dehydrated that he went into hypovolemic shock, but he survived
I had a heat stroke in track. We were competing with other schools and every other student in 9th grade came to the stadium; they gave us one water bottle because it was hot outside and - well - we were running. I, the dumbass, decided to save my water. I didn't feel thirsty, and I eat until 3:30 pm. I started off strong : Jumping, Sliding, gliding, sprinting, jogging. After it ended, I collapsed; idk what happened next because the doctors told me that I had memory loss(yes, they also treated me for a heat stroke). What my friends/witnesses told me was that my head slammed into the grass, one teacher (Mr. Thomson) actually carried me to the school's Doctor called an ambulance and my mom, and that's all not much. I wasn't close to death, but I still had to be treated.
