10 Symptoms of Hypothermia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Coordination Loss
Complex movements require an impressive amount of brain power. Even walking requires continuous advanced mathematical computations that even modern computers struggle to achieve. If our brain is to slow down, though, then it will struggle to be able to make these computations.
With a slowing brain caused by hypothermia, the patient can gradually begin to lose their coordination. Walking will become difficult and using their hands can also become incredibly hard for them. This can also limit their ability to get themselves out of their predicament if there is nobody around to help them. Medical help should always be sought if somebody is experiencing such symptoms without a proper explanation.
