Heat Exhaustion
It's an unusual 89 degrees here in Indiana in mid-September. I've had a bad afternoon trying to get home from my friend's place. Took a bus halfway. Went to transfer to the next bus but realized I lost my pass. Walked 45 minutes home with the sun beating down on me constantly. No water on hand. Hadn't eaten yet.
Every muscle begged me to give up. I was dizzy. Light-headed. Sweating like crazy. Nauseous. Weak. My heart rate was through the roof. I didn't have the energy to count it but I'm sure it was at least 180bpm. 76 is about average for me.
I've gotten some water and cooled down. But my heart's a bit on the thumpy side still. Skipping occasionally though not as irregular as it was during the initial cool down. If I had had someone to steth me today, I'm sure they would have been in for a real treat.

Re: Heat Exhaustion
Be careful with that. I ended up in the hospital for heat exhaustion and dehydration about a year ago. Not fun.

Re: Heat Exhaustion
ecg sounds cool, not sure if dealing with heat exhaustion to the point of collapsing would be quite worth it though lol. Could just depend on your perspective though, if you just happen to be half dead from heat exhaustion an ecg would make a neat silver lining.

Trust me. The whole experience pretty much sucked. Never want to do that again.

No, I agree with you. I certainly wouldn't recommend it in any way. I spent a day and a half in hospital having tests and on a drip.
They were more worried as I have a murmur.
Warning to everyone, keep well hydrated in hot weather
