HEAT DISORDERS
DIAGNOSIS |
|
|
|
The diagnosis of heat cramps usually
involves the observation of individual symptoms such as muscle
cramping and thirst. Diagnosis of heat exhaustion or heat stroke,
however, may require a physician to review the medical history,
document symptoms, and obtain a blood pressure and temperature
reading. The physician may also take blood and urine samples for
further laboratory testing. A test to measure the body's
electrolytes can also give valuable information about chemical
imbalances caused by the heat-related illness. |
