It seems that the body would want to CONSERVE fluid. I have my state EMT exam tomorrow and I'm trying to fill in a few gaps and put it all together.

It could be that the body is trying to rid itself of toxins.

You do an abdominal thrust which goes in and up at the same time.  The thrust needs to be quick and hard to try to force air out of the lungs hard enough to expel the foreign material.

emts and paramedical professionals are required to generally assess the situation of the patient and communicate the same to the hospital so that the required doctors,medicines,equipments, etc are kept ready and are easily available. this also helps to assess the situations in the hospital prior to the patients arrival so that the required diagnostic procedures can also be kept ready and can be easily performed.emts and paramedicals hence need to know the bsaic anotomy and physiology of the human body whereby they can give as much as possible accurate condition of the patient. they need to hence know a lot of medical terminology scope of which is beyond this questions limits.

As a cardiac nurse of some thirty years, I am amazed at what men will put up with hoping it isn't their heart.  Dear man, you need to get to a doctor and do it now.

Yeas, see a doctor pronto.  This is your body's way of saying "Hey, Mr. Brain isn't getting enough oxygen right now!".  Possible causes could be medication, hypotension, a blocked carotid artery, a serious heart condition, etc.  Only testing will tell!

Ideally - get medical attention a.s.a.p, even if you have call the emergency doctors now for advise - dont take the risk with chest pains.

Not really an issue of the lungs getting enough oxygen or glucose.  If the heart is failing, blood starts to get backed up in the lungs.  The result is called "pulmonary edema."  Fluid seeps out of the pulmonary capillaries into the alveoli.  This makes it hard to breathe (it interferes with gas exchange).

It wasnt too funny when it happened to me.  I had just had my hysterectomy and THOUGHT I had to pass gas.  WRONG!  Went right on myself.  I was still in the hospital at the time doing my laps and ran as best I could all the way back to my room passing bathrooms all along the way for some unknown reason.  Its funny now that I look back at it but it sure wasnt when it was happening.

For one, the man's body heat rising causes most of the symptoms.  Dehydration causes the lack of sweat which in turn causes the body to overheat and slip into heatstroke.\nAs far as the paramedic go I am sure he has his reasons he is obviously trained.  The elctrolyte is essentially water sugar and salt.  Salt will help hold in water.  The man became disoriented because essential his brain was frying in his head.

I believe if you had fluid in your knees you would definitely know it.  I tend to think that you might have damage to your miniscus or such.  I would go to the therapist and also mention your concerns to them as they are extremely knowledgeable.

It's a condition in which air leaks into the space between the lungs and the chest wall.  It is serious because it leads to lung collapse and needs to be treated.  The treatment is to insert a thin tube into that space - called "the pleural space" that is in turn attached to a device that reinflates the lungs and keeps them that way as the leak heals.  Yes, it's a bit uncomfortable, but so is dying of asphyxia!

It sounds suspiciously like a homework question, but here we go...\n\nAt this point, her body is producing significant amounts of catecholamines, hormones such as adrenalin, etc. These hormones cause the heart rate in increase and the blood vessels to constrict. The idea is to get more blood to the vital organs.\n\nThere is a fairly narrow window here to resuscitate the patient. Once the blood pressure starts to fall, she's on a slippery slope in the wrong direction.\n\nThings to add for extra points:\nThe FIRST things that will change in a patient in hypovolemic shock (low blood volume) is a change in her mental status and a drop in urinary output. This is from reduced circulation to the brain and kidneys.\n\nGood luck!

Sounds like she has been diagnosed with a condition know as Ascites. It can be associated with liver problems, but also with appendicitis, or inflammation of the colon such as diverticulitis. It is also associated with several chronic conditions.\n\nSimply put, other fluid containing organs lose the fluid, due to disease or infection, into the abdomen where it accumulates (in the peritoneal cavity.) I am a paramedic and believe this is the condition you are describing. The below URL's will help you understand.
