We began discussing our first "House Case." In this case, a 18 year old senior who runs cross country begins to feel a headache after practice. He feels tired, confused, and starts vomiting. After further questioning, we further determined that he had chicken for lunch and had two glasses of water with lunch. He didn't take any medicine and only ran for about 7 miles. However, while he was running cross country, it was 104 degrees F outside, humid, and he drank 3 gallons of water while running.
