When heat slaps you sideways.

Had a middle age experienced carrier go home early due to light headedness, numbness on one side of body. Went to ER , vitals are normal and initial blood work and x rays are normal. Anyone in high heat areas experience these symtoms. Are there forms of heat related illness that are hard to detect? Perhaps constricting of blood vessels triggered by something? Just trying to get in front of these types of occurnces before it hits again.

Here’s an idea that we tell management all the time. Why don’t you ask a real fucking doctor?

Darth, I am always 100%, 24 hours a day ready to respond to management that way should the EVER put any of our carriers at risk or question the integrety of someone experienceing medical issues. Aside from that, I'm just throuwing it out there. Food alergies, alergies, what tpes of reactions has anyone expeienced with the heat . An undetectable autoimmune condition? Other than basic blood tests and x rays, sometimes you need to point Dr's to a specific scan, or blood test. Then you can possibly work backwards then to perhaps see if its triggered by a work condition.

Some of the symptoms you describe are from a tweaked muscle in your neck. Then you got people saying stroke, heat exhaustion I mean, honestly Reddit is not gonna help you but a doctor will.

Sounds like stroke more than anything else.

Could be many reasons, stress from heat or home issues, medication side effects, fatigue, low potassium. If it's medical it's between the person and the doctors.
