With temperatures often dropping to dangerous levels, hypothermia remains a serious concern. Hypothermia occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce it, causing a drop in core temperature below 95 degrees. Symptoms include chills, confusion, clumsiness, or even unconsciousness and heart issues in severe cases. Stay safe from Hypothermia at CCM Health.

Hand warmers, blankets, and gloves can make a big difference in staying safe.\u201d Dr. Briones also emphasizes the importance of checking on vulnerable groups such as young children, the elderly, and those with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, as they are more susceptible to cold-related conditions.<\/p>\n<p>If you suspect hypothermia, it\u2019s crucial to act quickly.
