Hypothermia and frezzing? |
if you are hicking in the extreme cold and hypothermia sets in is it painful and does going through the differnt stages of hypothermia hurt or do you know or feal anything at all Actually, yes and no!! There is no short answer, though. yes. it is a rather intense pain. Obviously, you will feel cold. The first stage is shivering as the body trys to keep itself warm. The outer extremities such as the hands and feet will become numb. Their breathing will become quick and shallow. the stages of hypothermia are all differnt, i can't tell you the names or them or how many there are, because well i don't konw, sry. but anyways hypothermia will begin with you just feeling cold, you will than begin to shake, it will than move to your extremities feeling numb or painful and then you, than you will stop shaking and now you know you have a problem. finally you will become incoherante and you body will basicly just shut down You first have uncontrollable shivering, then you lose feeling in your body and you become disoriented and tired, then you pass out - Ive been through it, and I passed out in the car while it was running with the heat cranked. I woke up 2 hours later and I was still shivering, but was ok and then I drove home. You will not feel anything. But amputation is extreme. |
