Article Synopsis
- A young, fit man suffered from severe heat stroke after running a 10 km race, despite being in good physical shape.
- He had undergone a surgical procedure called bilateral thoracic sympathectomy to reduce sweating, which left him with limited sweating in his upper body and limbs.
- This case highlights the importance of understanding how reduced sweating and altered body responses can increase the risk of heat-related illnesses in individuals who have had this type of surgery.
