Because costochondritis causes inflammation of the joints connecting the ribs, it is also associated with inflammatory diseases and autoimmune disorders. As such, the association between rheumatology and costochondritis is clear.
Hypothermia happens when your body temperature drops way below normal, causing the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems to slow down. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 Â°F (37 Â°C). Hypothermia happens if your temperature drops to 96 Â°F (35.5 Â°C) or below. Hypothermia often happens gradually, but it can happen within minutes, such as if someone falls through the ice into cold water. Then your body starts to lose heat faster than it can produce it.
Hypothermia may occur if you are exposed to cold temperatures or a cold, wet, windy environment for a long amount of time. Getting drenched in the rain on a cold, windy day, and not drying off, for example, may lead to hypothermia.
