Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 My BP has been running 104 to 112/72 to 77. That's on 100 mg of spiro. The drop to 99/69 was right after exercising. Later in the day it was back to normal. > > > > > > 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 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I would still give this observation to your team.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Can anyone tell me why an ASD child would overheat easily and quickly? One of our 3yo twins has ALWAYS overheated easily, even as a baby. When we go on walks we have to make sure that it isn't over 85ish or he gets overheated. When this happens, he'll fall to the ground and we thought was refusal to walk, but it may be something more. We've discussed this with the dr. to blank looks and the old familiar, " well he's autistic and he doesn't WANT to walk " yeah, ok but explain the overheating? And it takes him a LONG time to cool down. We usually have to cool tub dunk him. Well, today, my DH took the twins to the playground at 7PM to play for a bit after dinner. They BOTH got tomato faced within 15 minutes and as he was walking them home, he said they were really showing their autism: hand flapping, slapping their ears, walking in circles and shaking their heads. These are things they've NEVER done so it freaked him out. That on top of throwing themselves face down onto the concrete and refusing to walk - he called me on the cell phone to come and assist getting them home. When I got there, they were so pitiful looking! We got them home and into the cool tub and then I made them drink two cups of ice cold water. It took about 30 min's to calm them down and then they were back to themselves and so far no problems tonight. I was expecting someone to throw up, but that didn't happen. Any ideas? The dr isn't much help on this one. Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Do they sweat?? When my apraxic DS was about 2 or so, he didn't sweat much and would overheat easily. Even drinking tons of water didn't really seem to help. We've been doing lots of supps, enzymes, and yeast control in the last 2 years and now he sweats ALOT and doesn't overheat easily. I don't know which supps did the trick.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 My son used to do the same thing. He would never sweat just get really red and then look as if he was going to pass out. We live in the desert, so he's practically house bound during the summer. One time we went on a 15 minute walk in the heat and he ended up with heatstroke. After about 4 months on antivirals, he started to sweat normally and can now tolerate the heat much better.
