said that he was dizzy and lightheaded. The nurse in the
office took his blood pressure and it was low. His pulse
rate was elevated. He also had bruising on both arms. The
outside temperature during practice was 105 degrees
Fahrenheit, and Chris forgot to bring water. He has no
medical history, but his father has a history of heart
disease and kidney disease. - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Dizzy and
