Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 A 356 in reasonable street tune can cool itself if it isn't handicapped. The 356 cools through both oil cooler and the air around the cylinders. This is adequate under pretty much any reasonable ambient temperature. That said, there are real causes for overheating. If your timing isn't reasonably close to normal, you can generate a lot more heat for the same horsepower. If your compression ratio is on the high side, you get higher cylinder temperatures, even if you burn the fuel more efficiently. If your clearances are too tight or if you starve for oil, you get a lot of heating. If your engine is too lean, it will overheat. If your engine is too rich, it will usually just foul the valves and run on three or less cylinders. It helps to have reasonably calibrated sense of when you might be overheating. A temperature guage helps, but it isn't the only hting. Do you get run-on when shutting the engine down from hot? Have you checked your plug color (black for fouling and light grey to white for too lean. The latter overheats!. Have you checked for hot oil smell when the engine is shut down form hot? Heat resistant oils (synthetics and the top-of-the line petroleum based ones) help, but can get burned off the cylinder walls if you are running lean (causing more heat). Yes, you can get mud dauber wasps in your cooling fins and you can get clogged oil passages/cooler and you can impede the airflow to the oil cooler. You can bet better coolers, full flow filters, and aluminum based cylinders with greater thermal conductance. They aren't necessary generally, but they do let things run cooler. Heat isn't bad. Higher temperatures yield better efficiency in a well-tuned engine. Rick .. 62B damen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi , My Micah is like your Myah. He gets red also but not as bad as Myah. But we call him our wet noodle because when the heat index goes up, his muscle tone goes down and he is like a rag doll. He also gets irritated and cranky. I don't think it is that uncommon amongst our children. Loree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 , Yes, it is common amoungst our kids. I'd bring her in the moment she starts turning red or starts to become lethargic or grumpy. I'd also add cold liquids (gatorade) in addition to the wet rags. You need to address this on the IEP. cannot be outside when it's over 90 and the humidity is high. Some schools and busses don't have air conditioning- and that can be written under accomadations. Ironically, I don't think the DS medical community has addressed this...I could be wrong - but I remember someone else mentioning this awhile ago. OVerheating Just thought I'd ask if anyone else was having this problem. Myah has, what I call, overheated the past few days. She will play outside for maybe 1 to 1 ½ hours and get very red (hot looking-not skin problems). I brought her in yesterday and put cold rags on her face and arms and it took about 2 hours for the redness and hot feeling skin to go away. I brought her in because she was misbehaving and acting miserable. Is this common amongst our kids, or just mine? :-) Thanks, , mom to Myah,3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Bridget is not natured. She has not overheated as of yet, but has also not played outside a whole lot especially when it is hot. I do know that the behaviors are related to the overheating. Bridget will get hot with a sweatshirt or sweater on inside. It takes an act of congress to get it off her sometimes. When she refuses to take it off, I notice behaviors and extreme tiredness. mom to Bridget 11 ds in Upstate SC OVerheating Just thought I'd ask if anyone else was having this problem.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 A very common factor for many kids with DS. I know kids that have environmental controls written into their IEP for this reason, so AC buses are needed, staff need to be aware of the overheating signs to avoid heat stroke.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 My daughter also had overheating problems... after the busride to daycare from the preschool oh-so-many years ago, on a hot day she would be beet red and actually run a fever. After marathon IEP meetings, the district installed air conditioning on the bus that she rode in. We are in the Central Valley of California (remember that old TV series - the Big Valley? Yep... Stockton) and it gets over 100º for days on end in the summer. She is now 19, and appears to not be as affected by external temperatures as she was then. -- Kathy mom to (19-DS) and a bunch of others that never had issues with the heat...... :-) *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 5/12/2004 at 7:19 PM Spilios opined: | Just thought I’d ask if anyone else was having this problem.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi : Yes, Noah has this problem also. I noticed it a few times over the years, but really noticed it last year. It can get especially troublesome when he has to go out in hot weather or it's really humid. Even being in the car for a long period of time during the day with the air conditioning on can be a problem as just the sun beating down on him makes him red. I find after he's back in the house and cooling down that he wants alot to drink. I even took him into the doctor's office for it last year as I was really getting concerned about it (at one point we were walking in the school for 's Kindergarten registration and a mother commented on Noah's really bad sunburn - which he didn't have). The doctor basically said it was probably a vascular problem and there wasn't anything they could do about it. They also said to give him a cool wet rag and that would help him to cool down as it basically seems he can't sweat the heat out. The wet rag would give his skin some more moisture and help replace the sweat; therefore, helping him to cool down. Until I was reading the replies to your email, I thought this might be unique to Noah, but now I see that it is not. Thanks for posting it. HTH somewhat.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 also has similar problems. I have to watch her closely when she is outside playing. She gets very pale, especially around the lips. Sometimes her cheeks are very red. We try to catch her before she gets this way, and go inside for a while and drink lots of liquids. I also try to limit outside playtime to the morning hours, and let the kids be inside during the hottest part of the day, or go to the pool during that time. Sharon H.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Tim was the opposite when he was younger, he sweated really well! But he couldn't cope with cold. In Hong Kong when the temp dropped below about 15-16 celcius he would need wrapping in an all in one vest, woolen tights, socks, trousers or baby grow, shirt and jumper and out side need an additional all in one outdoor suit, hat and gloves! He used to look like a weebal! When he started school in the UK he often stayed in at play time and lunch time in winter becoz he would take an hour or so to warm up after coming in. He is fine now, copes well with temperature drops. There was never an explanation for why he was like this, it was just a part of him! sue wong Re: Overheating > Hi : > > Yes, Noah has this problem also.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 The adrenals are key in regulating body temp thru sweating and salt metabolism. When sweating is heat induced aldo goes up and this causes Na to be pumped out of sweat back into the body and K to go out in sweat. With no aldo and/or no salt one dies from dehydration and heat stroke. You prob feel better because you are losing less salt when you sweat- depending on how much (fast) your are sweating. Dr. Conn's interest and priming for the discovery of PA came thru his research on the role of hormones in adapting to heat stress during and after WWII. He wrote several beautiful articles on this and they may be available thru PUB MED. Search Conn JW and let us know if you can find any of the articles so we can add to files.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks, that's the best explanation that I have had so far. I have noticed that on the Spiro that I sweat quite a bit more than I used to. Sometimes when I'm not exerting myself. Should I keep myself hydrated with water or would you recommend some sports drink? The reason that I ask is that I have had problems all of my life with overheating and dehydration and I'd like to avoid it. > > > I was just wondering if anyone out there has trouble with > > overheating during exertion. > > Before I was diagnosed and put on Spiro, if I would exert myself, > > say from exercise, I would > > start to feel kind of nauseous then usually I would get a > > tremendous headache.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 This happens to me too, sometime discouraging me to continue to exercise. I wish I had a solution to it. Its the down feeling and the brain fogs that really get me post exercise. Recently I drink a big glass of orange juice sprinkled with some salt before I exercise and it seems to help. I also drink a sports drink such as catorade after the workout. But the road to exercise has not been easy.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Farah, Do you ever experience any lightheadedness when exercising. I do. I usually take a 30 minute walk at lunchtime and I can almost guarantee that I will get lightheaded at some point during the walk. Also, do you get really cold after vigorous exercise? I play drums for a country/rock band in my locale. Drumming is extremely physical. Usually after a night of playing a 3 hour show, I'll get home, still feeling very overheated, and go to bed and usually will wake up in the middle of the night freezing. If, in fact, our pressure is dropping, what should we do about it?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Mike: Yes totally. I do experience lightheadedness. I have taken my bp during exercise and after. During exercise my bp remains fairly low but not drop any lower than the usual. But my bp actually goes up 24 hours post exercise and I experience brain fog. This is what stops me from consistent workout. Farah On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 2:49 PM, constellationmike <hohnka@...> wrote: > Farah, > > Do you ever experience any lightheadedness when exercising.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 My BP dropped to 99/69 today after exercising (stationery bike for 25 min.). I don't feel lightheaded or nausea or cold. I just have a BP that is lower than I've ever had. I did sweat, but not more than usual. I wonder if I need to lower my spiro dosage from 100 mg per day to 50? > > I was just wondering if anyone out there has trouble with overheating during exertion. > Before I was diagnosed and put on Spiro, if I would exert myself, say from exercise, I would > start to feel kind of nauseous then usually I would get a tremendous headache.
