Yes, it is possible to faint from heat. I’ve done it.
I read a report that she went stiff as a board but was semi-conscious. They couldn’t bend her enough to carry her so, and also for appearances, dragged her to the car. That’s when both her shoes came off.
Absolutely possible. Heat exacerbates or causes low blood pressure in some individuals. HOWEVER what isn’t possible is a presidential candidate passes out and doesn’t get a complete medical follow up to check their condition.
I bet your body wasnt rigid like hers was
I’ve passed out from heat stroke. Usually before you hit the pavement, you may feel it coming on. If you can sit down, it may pass, but when it hits you, you turn into a sack of cement.
I haven’t fainted from heat, but I’ve been dizzy enough to sit and rest...and my military coworkers insisted I go to the first aid station and get an IV hooked up. But that was in Saudi Arabia, roughly 120 degrees on the ramp, and it was a single incident.
Hillary had dark sunglasses on, seems to have trouble walking more than 30 yards for months, collapses dramatically in 80 degree heat...and the media says it means nothing at all.
In 80 degree weather?
Everyone is different and depends on many variables, such as health, state of hydration, how well they’ve slept, did they wear a proper meal before hand, physical condition, medications they take, etc. I live in Florida and I work out in the yard frequently when it’s 90+ degrees and a lot higher humidity than what she experienced today and I don’t faint, however Im in good health and not 68. That being said, I have a neighbor who’s is in his 90’s, retired Marine, WWII vet, and he and his wife are out working in their yard all through the summer and they could probably run circles around me. I think she is ill with somethinf and trying her darnedest to make it over the finish !line.
It is possible to walk on water but I have never done it!
It was in the mid 70’s this morning....not oppressive considering it’s been in the 90’s for the last four months.
I understand it’s impolite to wish ill on anyone, but this woman needs to die the most agonizing/degrading death imaginable....she’s earned it.
Elderly sick people are very sensitive to fainting from even mild heat stress.
Healthy people not so much.
As have I.
A few years ago I was at a golf driving range with my nephew and it was very hot + mid+ 90’s. I was drinking water, and while I was hitting golf balls, it wasn’t 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 hadn’t 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, it’s not unusual to see a couple of people pass out, especially at the end of the show. But then again they’ve been practicing all day in the hot sun.
However, it was in the low 80’s in NYC this morning, not excessively hot although I think it was still rather humid but not extremely so.
I’m not saying Hillary "fainted" or fainted because of the heat, but in answer to your question, yes, you can pass out from heat.
In mid-70° weather? That is starting to get a bit cool for me.
If it were mid to highs 80s, then maybe, for a fat old hag with no physical endurance.
