What Is Malignant Hyperthermia?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. No Symptoms
People that have malignant hyperthermia will usually show no symptoms of the condition whatsoever. That is until they are exposed to whichever drug will cause a reaction. Some patients with the condition will not even show symptoms after they have been exposed for the first time.
Even if a patient does not experience malignant hyperthermia after being exposed to a certain drug, it does not mean to say that a reaction cannot happen in the future. A very small number of patients will show symptoms when they have not been exposed to the trigger drugs. Something like a viral infection may be enough to trigger symptoms instead.
