Cold, pale and sticky skin

Introduction One of the signs of heat exhaustion indicates that the body is exploding. It is a kind of performance when the cycle collapses.

Cause

In the midsummer, when the body temperature rises and the excess body fluid is lost, it will lead to heat exhaustion.

Everyone is at risk of developing heat exhaustion, even for the most climate-friendly athletes. Because, the hotter we are, the more we sweat. When the amount of sweat is lost, the body begins to lack water.

Heat exhaustion is caused by water loss (destruction), or in rare cases by salt loss (while wicking, while salt is lost). Thirst is most likely the first symptom, followed by loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, pale face, and a feeling similar to a cold (including nausea and vomiting). In more serious cases, even the heartbeat is accelerated and the attention is dilated.

Excessive sweating but not timely replenishment of fluid can cause heat exhaustion with fatigue, weakness and anxiety. Then there is a cycle of collapse and visible slow and slender pulse; low blood pressure is not easy to detect; the skin is cold and pale, sticky; mental disorders, followed by shock-like confusion.

The core body temperature is between 38.3 and 40.6 °C.

Symptoms of mild heatstroke (a blood stasis in the hot-expanded lower extremity vessels) that prolongs in a high temperature environment are subnormal body temperature and simple fainting.

Heatstroke failure that causes circulatory collapse is more difficult than heat stroke to distinguish from insulin shock, poisoning, bleeding or traumatic shock.

There is usually a history of exposure to high temperatures, lack of fluid supplementation, no other visible causes, and response to treatment as a sufficient basis for diagnosis. Unless long-term circulatory failure, heat exhaustion is usually short-lived and the prognosis is good.

Differential diagnosis

Identification with wet and cold limbs:

Wet and cold limbs: can be seen in the accompanying symptoms of a variety of diseases, clinically the most serious circulatory system lesions, common acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock and so on. In addition, heat stroke and poor metabolism can also cause wet limbs.
