ABSTRACT
We present a case report of a 37-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with altered mental status and electrocardiographic changes suggestive of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). He was ultimately diagnosed with extreme hyperthermia, secondary to drug use, which was managed promptly with supportive measures resulting in a successful outcome. This case highlights the importance of considering drug-induced hyperthermia as a potential cause of altered mental status and EKG changes in patients, especially in those with a history of drug abuse.
