Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Hypothermia:
Accidental Hypothermia - Age Page - Health Information: NIA (Excerpt)
Hypothermia is marked by unusually low body temperatures, below
96° F (35.5° C) - well below the body’s normal temperature of 98.6°
F (37° C). What may seem like a mere couple of degrees can have a
devastating effect. Severe hypothermia can cause an irregular
heartbeat leading to heart failure and death. (Source: excerpt from Accidental Hypothermia - Age Page - Health Information: NIA)
Accidental Hypothermia - Age Page - Health Information: NIA (Excerpt)
How can you tell if someone has hypothermia? If a person says he
or she is unusually cold, check their temperature with a
thermometer. Older people may be reluctant to complain, or are
unaware of how serious the cold can be. Look for these signs of
hypothermia:
- Confusion or sleepiness
- Slowed, slurred speech, or shallow breathing
- Weak pulse; low blood pressure
- A change in behavior during cold weather or a change in the
way a person looks
- Excess shivering or no shivering; stiffness in the arms or
legs
- Chilly rooms or other signs that the person has been in a cold
place
- Poor control over body movements or slow reactions
