1) Vomit
2) Severe headache
3) Extremely tired
4) Confused
These are the three diagnoses I came up with:
Dehydration- when body loses water and salts (occurs when you sweat)
Resulting from an electrolyte imbalance: they help regulate fluid balance
-During heavy exercise, electrolytes are lost in sweat (sodium/potassium)
-Electrolyte= compound that ionizes in solvents (water)
- A common symptom of dehydration headaches are an increase in pain when moving the head - especially during walking*** he was running before
-If you lose enough water, your blood volume will drop and this will temporarily lead to lower blood and oxygen flow to the brain
- If dehydration is severe, people may be confused or feel light-headed
-Brain and other body organs receive less blood
- Vomiting is a natural process when the body is working hard to increase the heart rate trying to make up for the fluids lost.
-The body can hold on to water as much as possible but when the stomach muscles get no water they contract
- Dehydration can cause blood to thicken, forcing the heart to pump harder to carry blood to your cells and organs and resulting in fatigue/tiredness.
Athletes Overtraining Syndrome- Occurs when you work out a lot without adequate time to rest and recuperate.
- Dizziness, nausea, and vomiting
-Gastrointestinal distress: ***happens to runners*** delayed emptying of the stomach and small intestines
-What causes it: As the body attempts to increase the blood supply to the muscles, less blood is supplied to intestines (why?: blood carries oxygen, muscles want oxygen and energy)
- Confusion
-brain receives less blood
- Fatigue
-persistent weariness
-reduced strength
- Exercise headaches
Heat Stroke- body temperature is elevated dramatically
- Heat stroke is a risk for athletes who train in hot environmental conditions.
- Symptoms: vomiting, fatigue, weakness, headache, confusion
- Some individuals can develop symptoms of heat stroke suddenly without warning
