For some reason I got pretty lightheaded in class today... it went away real quickly, and I was able to quickly get back to class ,but it's weird that it just randomly happened during class... aside from that great class today!
I've only had that happen when my BP was lower than usual (mine starts at slightly higher than "dead since yesterday"), or if I hadn't eaten.

Now we've got to know...what's his normal pulse/bp/temp?
My BP often is something like 110-115/55. When I give blood I have to have my snack in the donation chair, or just pass out on the way to the table.

My resting pulse is in the high 50’s to low 60’s, in spite of me not really getting nearly enough exercise.

The temp is probably the least odd of the three. I run about 2 degrees below the much quoted 98.6. If I hit 98.6, I have a fever. Usually a rather serious mancold, as the Hobbit can attest.

Wowza... good news

"For the first time this season all bush and grass fires in NSW are now contained.

... Twenty-five people have been killed, more than 2400 homes have been destroyed and five million hectares burnt in the devastating blazes."

Man, it’s good to hear things are finally getting under control out there. I know you guys like a good barbie, but that was ridiculous.

We have similarities. I also run about 2 degrees cooler (always wondered how uncommon that really is) and my BP hangs around 115/60. I have seen it go as low as 40 but usually feel like crap when it happens (something to do with MS I have been told).
My pulse is erratic. If I get really, really winded it will get close to 180-190bpm but I will feel fine. Get a 30 second to 1 minute blow and it will be back down to 90 to 100bpm. Been that way all my life.
Back in the day I could go 5 by 3-minute rounds with a 1 minute blow balls out the whole time. We would do this to get ready for the official 3 by 3-minute matches.

Wow in college I worked as an intern for a timber company and part of my jib was helping do controlled burns.

The heat given off was incredible....and those were controlled. Wildfires are no joke.

You forgot my sub-normal body temperature.

98.6 is not, as people say, "normal". It's average. You're at the low end of the bell curve, but it's still normal.

If I hit 98.6, I have a fever.

No. You don't. A fever is 100.4F or higher.
