An 18 year old male patient with a history of active smoking and occasional alcohol
binging came in with the chief complaint off passing out during football practice he fell to the
ground and regained consciousness within a few seconds he complains of headache, nausea and
Lightheadedness which got better with food intake the patient has been sweating profusely and
complaints of decreased urine frequency and dry mouth. His vital signs show blood pressure of
116/78 with an increased heart rate of 108 and temperature 99.1F. upon physical examination
patient's clothes were drenched in sweat. He appears slightly pale and has tachycardia. He has a
capillary refill of three seconds for his fingers. risk factors include antihistamine use, alcohol,
high heat index and obesity.
Differential Diagnosis-
Heat Exhaustion- (Primary Diagnosis)- T67.5XXA
My primary diagnosis is heat exhaustion because the patient was involved in high-intensity
physical activity with a high heat index of 100 and was inadequately hydrated, which caused a
sudden loss of consciousness. The patient had classic symptoms of headache, lightheadedness,
nausea, muscle cramps, dry mouth, and decreased urination. His physical examination of cool,
clammy, and pale skin, capillary refill of 3 seconds, excessive sweating, orthostatic hypotension,
and tachycardia also support the diagnosis of heat exhaustion. He has other associated risk
factors of obesity, alcohol, antihistamine, low fitness level, and dehydration. Heat exhaustion
occurs when a body can no longer control its temperature. Intense physical activity increases
heat production within the body, and high environmental temperatures can trigger heat
exhaustion. High-intensity physical activity and high environmental heat make a person sweat
profusely. The loss of salt and water through sweat induces dehydration and salt depletion, which
