Was there a single report of any other person, among the thousands of people there today, passing out from the heat?
As have I.
A few years ago I was at a golf driving range with my nephew and it was very hot + mid+ 90s. I was drinking water, and while I was hitting golf balls, it wasnt like I walking around. I started feeling a bit light headed and then started to lose my balance and had to sit down. Even after sitting down I got a ringing in my ears and my vision started going black. I had to sit for a while with my head between my knees before it went away. My nephew also wetted a golf towel with water and put it on the back of my neck.
I also came very close to passing out while playing golf under similar very hot conditions, but I had been walking the course, carrying my clubs, a very hilly course. I played golf regularly and was in pretty good shape and I was drinking water and Gatorade but hadnt eaten anything but a power bar earlier that morning.
I also have a lot of friends and relatives who march in Drum and Bugle Corps. Even though most competitions are held in the evening, its not unusual to see a couple of people pass out, especially at the end of the show. But then again theyve been practicing all day in the hot sun.
However, it was in the low 80s in NYC this morning, not excessively hot although I think it was still rather humid but not extremely so.
Im not saying Hillary "fainted" or fainted because of the heat, but in answer to your question, yes, you can pass out from heat.
I bet your body wasnt rigid like hers was
,p>
She will be more flexible after the election
I agree, I think she had a seizure. They had to put out something. I was just reporting what I heard.
ABC is now saying she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. That’s rich.
That’s what I say, Hillary is a victim of global warming!
If I was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, I’d rest up during the weekend.
IF salt pills such as were prescribed, and provided me in South Korea at Camp Red Cloud are illegal now I don’t know.
Amen brother been to a few ERs back in my day amazing how bad you feel and after a couple bags of iv fluids and some valium i was ready for a drink again I hve been sober since april 2001
That would disclose all the medical devices.
Most times when you are dehydrated you stop sweating
As I mentioned earlier or in another thread it looks exactly how people can faint/pass out. Not everyone just crumbles to the ground immediately. Often times, people get light-headed, start to wobble from dizziness and weak legs and then pass out. I've witnessed people swaying and trying to get their bearings and then collapse...just like this video showed.
That said, add up her VERIFIED concussion, blood clot, corrective lenses glasses, thyroid problem, her age and weight, tripping, now fainting, not to mention her moments of a 100 yard stare. It's obvious the woman definitely has a debilitating disease or syndrome. The root cause remains speculative.
Three and a half years for me.
It was not 87, that is simply a untrue. The high at JFK today did not reach 85 until the warmest part of the day. It was slightly cooler in lower Manhattan all day.
7:51 AM 77.0 °F - 71.1 °F 82% 29.90 in 10.0 mi SSW 12.7 mph - N/A Mostly Cloudy
8:51 AM 80.1 °F 84.2 °F 73.0 °F 79% 29.91 in 10.0 mi WSW 13.8 mph - N/A Mostly Cloudy
Best estimate is that it was about 76 or 77 degrees when the ceremony began at 8:40 AM, and about 77 or 78 when she left.
It is called syncope. Happens to those not used to warm weather and they are trying to stand stock still. Happens to new military recruits, police at events, bosses overseeing work.
Common faint (NMS): this is also known as vasovagal syncope. It is the most common cause of fainting. NMS can occur in various situations. These include:
Fear.
Severe pain or emotional distress.
After extreme exercise.
After prolonged standing, especially in hot places (which is why soldiers on parade may faint).
When wearing tight collars that constrict the neck

Was she whisked away in a white Bronco?
I have had heat exhaustion a couple of times.
Trust me, feeling better took slightly more than 90 minutes.
I must have misread something. My bad.
We’re coming off an extreme heat wave. I don’t believe for a second it affected this privileged woman!
