“A pulmonary hemorrhage It is a diagnosis that can have multiple causes. In general, it is associated with previous diseases. It is very rare for a healthy person to have a pulmonary hemorrhage solely due to prolonged exposure to heat. It can happen, but it is very rare,” says Marcelo Ferraz Sampaio, cardiologist at BP – A Beneficência Portuguesa in Sao Paulo.
How does heat make us feel bad and can lead to extreme cases? Doctors explain how to prevent
What are the main symptoms of pulmonary hemorrhage?
- Respiratory symptoms, such as persistent cough and shortness of breath;
- Chest pain;
- Drop in blood pressure;
- Pallor, due to acute anemia;
- fainting;
- Decreased oxygenation.
“It all depends on the extent and quantity of the bleeding. Whether it is a mild, moderate or severe bleeding, it can cause more or fewer symptoms,” notes the specialist.
Can prolonged exposure to heat lead to death?
Certainly, prolonged exposure to heat can lead to dangerous consequences, including death. “We have some developmental states that begin with a drop in blood pressure, changes in heart rate, dehydration, weakness and heat exhaustion, which lead to fainting and death,” comments the cardiologist. But he emphasizes that everything depends a lot on the exposure time, temperature, humidity and the presence of previous health conditions of the person.
What is the heat-related complication known as heatstroke?
These are neurological complications that occur due to extreme temperatures, when the compensatory mechanisms that our body launches to deal with the situation are exhausted, leading to difficulty in eliminating heat and an increase in body temperature. “This heatstroke has several stages. Initially, we sometimes have a mild cognitive or sensory change, with mental confusion or a feeling of drowsiness or weakness,” said the BP cardiologist.
When the body is unable to maintain an average body temperature of 37ºC, neurological changes increase. In general, heat stroke occurs in situations related to excessive exertion in very hot and humid climates and in outdoor conditions, but it can also occur independently of the effort.
“When the temperature approaches 40ºCcan cause what we call heat stroke, which is already a more important phase than heat stroke, with a possible worsening of mental confusion, as well as an increased risk of convulsions, loss of consciousness, collapse of several organs and progression to coma and even death if the temperature reaches or exceeds 40ºC“, explains Sampaio.
Some specific conditions of people can favor this serious condition, such as obesity, the use of certain drugs (such as diuretics) and extreme age, i.e. being a newborn or elderly.
Can pulmonary hemorrhage occur due to cardiac massage?
“A cardiac massage can be related to a hemorrhage if the technique is not adequate or performed by people who do not know exactly how to perform it effectively. A prolonged massage can also cause (pulmonary hemorrhage)“, assesses the BP cardiologist.
