Health-related factors, some especially common among older people, that may increase

risk of hyperthermia include:

 Being dehydrated.

 Age-related changes to the skin such as impaired blood circulation and inefficient
sweat glands.

 Heart, lung and kidney diseases, as well as any illness that causes general weakness
or fever.

 High blood pressure or other conditions that require changes in diet. For example,
people on salt-restricted diets may be at increased risk. However, salt pills should
not be used without first consulting a doctor.

 Reduced sweating, caused by medications such as diuretics, sedatives, tranquilizers

and certain heart and blood pressure drugs.

 Taking several drugs for various conditions. It is important, however, to continue to

take prescribed medication and discuss possible problems with a physician.

 Being substantially overweight or underweight.

 Drinking alcoholic beverages.

Electrocardiogram

https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/zm2308

 The P wave is a record of the electrical activity through the upper heart
chambers (atria).
 The QRS complex is a record of the movement of electrical impulses through
the lower heart chambers (ventricles).
 The ST segment shows when the ventricle is contracting but no electricity is
flowing through it. The ST segment usually appears as a straight, level line between
the QRS complex and the T wave.
 The T wave shows when the lower heart chambers are resetting electrically
and preparing for their next muscle contraction.
