medicine

fever, known pyrexia , febrile response, defined having body temperature above normal range in response internal physiological conditions, such infection
hyperthermia elevated body temperature due failed thermoregulation occurs when body produces or absorbs more heat dissipates.

malignant hyperthermia (mh) type of severe reaction may occur susceptible patients during general anesthesia


heat illness or heat-related illness, spectrum of mild severe acute medical problems caused environmental exposure heat:

heat exhaustion, caused loss of water , electrolytes through sweating; may presage heat stroke
heat stroke, known sun stroke, defined hyperthermia body temperature greater 40.6 °c (105.1 °f) because of environmental heat exposure; potentially fatal
heat syncope, fainting or dizziness result of overheating
heat edema, swelling of hands and/or feet due over-expansion of blood vessels in extremities in response heat
heat cramps, muscle spams resulting loss of water , electrolytes through sweating, after heavy exercise or labor in high heat; may presage heat tetany , heat exhaustion (thus heat stroke)
heat rash (miliaria), skin irritations caused excessive sweating or blocked sweat glands
heat tetany, craps , seizures caused calcium and/or magnesium loss due excessive sweating in short periods of stress in high heat


hot flash (or hot flush), feeling of heat, sweating , increased heart rate, experienced menopausal women due low estradiol, though men , young women other reasons, such low testosterone or pituitary problems
