Re: sauna - tachacardia and heat sensitivity

[Guest guest]

Hi Bent,

I am so heat sensitive I have to bathe with a sponge.

Any heat at all and I break out in hives (urticaria).

Exercise will do the same thing. Too much and I will

have extreme flushing, tachacardia, and a plunge in

blood pressure. When this happens I usually have to

go to the hospital.

A pulse rate of 130-140 is definitely tachacardia. If

you also have low blood pressure that is not a good

combination. If I were you I would be a little

careful and maybe start with some hot baths...

You seem to be feeling better and I hope that is the

case.

I agree with Dave that the combo of high heart rate and low blood

pressure is not good. The low blood pressure alone, if it is a

general problem you have, can be an indicator of adrenal problems

and I would not recommend doing sauna unless you do something to

address adrenal fatigue.

I am not actually sure what is going on with you - from what

you posted before it sounded like you were in the sauna for

30 minutes, which is a long time. You want to get out of

the sauna when your heart rate gets too elevated and your

blood pressure gets low. Symptoms like dizziness and nausea

are also signs to get out, cool down, get some fluid and

electrolytes into your body. Even if nothing bad happened

before, it can and you need to be careful. If you try

this again, at least make sure someone else is around

to help you if you have trouble.

Last summer when my adrenals were doing really well, I was

able to stay in a sauna almost that long (maybe it was 20

minutes, not positive). It was rather relaxing, and I think

that's how it should be. When I first tried sauna with

fatigued adrenals, it was not relaxing, my heart rate was

up to 120-130 after 5 minutes. It took 10 minutes to even

get a few beads of sweat. I was asking for trouble, and I

knew it so I didn't continue.

Be careful.

I actually use to have a little to high bloodpressure, and I also sweat a

lot already after 1 minute in the sauna. But I think as you, that 30 minutes

the first time in sauna was a little to much for mee.

But I wonder, people in this group have described adrenal problems plenty of

times, but I wonder what this is? Is it low levels of the hormone adrenaline

or what is it?

We are referring mainly to low levels of cortisol, although

the adrenals produce other important hormones as well, such as

DHEA, adrenaline, and others. When the level of adrenal hormones

is inadequate, it causes all sorts of problems. In severe cases,

this can be life-threatening.

The adrenals control blood sugar level, electrolyte levels, and

generally they create necessary changes in our body when we are

subjected to stress. The hormones they produce are known as

" stress hormones " because they allow us to respond appropriately

to stressors such as pain, injury, infection, exercise, and emotions.

Andy talks about hypoadrenalism in Amalgam Illness. Mercury

can alter adrenal function in a variety of ways and toxic

people who are suffering these effects will have a harder

time detoxing and healing. Physiologic replacement doses of

cortisol, in particular, and sometimes other hormones, can

be very helpful, and in some cases critical, to the recovery

process.
