Symptoms of HYPOTHERMIA
Early symptoms of hypothermia include poor muscle coordination, mental confusion, shivering and low body temperature (below 95° F or 35° C). The pulse slows and the person becomes drowsy and lethargic. As the condition worsens, the muscles may become rigid. If the temperature drops to a range from 77° F to 84° F (25° C to 28.9°C), the fingers, toes and nail beds appear purple and the person becomes unconscious.
