Do I get really light-headed after I take baths?
My mom suggested it was because the water was too hot, but I lowered the temp. and I still felt really dizzy when I got out.  |

If the water is too hot or you stay in too long, your bath probably has the same effect as a hot tub or hot spring. Which is why health professionals warn against staying in too hot water too long.
Even if you are bathing, your body reacts to the heat of the water the same way it reacts to humidity/air heat. If it's too warm for your body, you start to sweat. Also, the warmer temperature cause your muscle to relax and loosen. This relaxation also applies to your blood vessels. This lowers your blood pressure. While your baths probably aren't long enough to really do heavy damage, physiologically your body reacts to the heat. Loss of hydration + lowered body pressure = light headness. So when you stand up, you get a whoosh of dizziness. |
