How to recover from hypothermia?!
Question: How to recover from hypothermia?
Last night I walked 15 miles home in the freezing cold. When I got home I felt dizzy. My skin had a little bit of a blue glow. I was out of it. Almost like how you feel when you're drunk. I was so cold I immediately jumped in the shower when I got home. It was about a 5-6 hour walk. And anyway I buried myself in blankets and fell asleep. I woke up sweating. But I still feel cold? Yea. I still feel cold. Its very strange. I am pretty sure there is some sort of hypothermia going on. Will it go away on its own if I just stay in my warm cozy bed all day and watch tv?
Answers:
Is your skin back to a normal color? Take your temperature. It should be around 98.6. If both are OK, you should be fine. Get into the shower again to warm up and drink warm fluids. Drink fluids.
don't abuse your body again like that! Take good care of yourself!
