Question 1

does high heart rate during excercise cause rabdomyolosis?

Accepted Answer

No: Rhabdomyolosys is a muscle injury direct or indirect. It result in breakdown of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the bloodstream. In an untrained athlete, excessive exercise can cause extreme  muscle strain or a heat stroke causing tachycardia as a cause of the process. Rhabdo will occur because of the muscle breakdown not the tachycardia. Hydration and training very important.

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: If tuberculosis gets into the brain, this can clearly be deadly unless immediate intervention is accomplished.  Often the spread results from tuberculoma rupturing and causing a tuberculous meningitis, and if pupils dilate, may be terminal.  But if diagnosis is mad early, meds to treat may really turn around.
