How does it feel to recover from hypothermia?

Best Answers

It leaves you very drained of energy. When I was in my early 30s I went on a camping trip with friends in the Adirondacks, in the summer. We were hiking and a storm front moved in with a thunderstorm. I was hot anyway, so the cool rain felt good. We stopped to set up camp. read more

No one would have likely found me until long after hypothermia had passed to coma to death. Decided to never go that far again. It falls under the category of foolishly careless, e.g. Isaac Newton once put a butter knife into his eye just to see what would happen, delicately moving and pressuring places. read more

Complications during recovery can include pneumonia, heart arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation (a dangerous "fluttering" rhythm of the heart), cardiac arrest (a sudden stopping of the heartbeat), and death. Seek immediate medical help for anyone with hypothermia. Call 911 if you suspect severe hypothermia. read more
