Even After Improving My Overall Pain, Hot Baths Still Cause Issues
After getting out of a hot bath (even slowly), I have some intense aching in my ankles, sometimes knees, and I feel dizzy and out of breath.
Could this just be the water is too hot? Has anyone had issues with this as well? At it's worst I thought I was going to collapse/faint.
Its a vegetative reaction says my fysiotherapist i have it too. Your body reacts on all the senses. Thats why i don t take a bath anymore when i was healthy i could relax in a bath.
Showering also intense so i wash myself every morning standing next to the shower and shower only twice a week.
Success its strange when you body gives a heavy reaction to some normal input but its all because your pain senses are disturbed or you have to much trigger points.
Wish you all the best

Yes, I've had an issue with being dizzy /light headed when I accidentally let the water get too hot. I have normal Heartrate and BP. It's likely a humidity issue with your ankles. Sometimes my entire body hurts more after a bath, like it does during storms and really humid days like todayπ Everytime the humidity goes above 55% my pain level increases. Try keeping a thermometer with humidity in the bathroom during bathtime. π Hope this helpsπ
It may be similar to the effects of sitting in a hot tub too long. Average time should be no longer than 15 minutes. The hot tub works wonders for me. The heat and massage like jets relaxes my muscles and heats my joints. The pain, inflammation return after an hour or so, but I believe it still helps my mobility and circulation. Itβs like water aerobics.
When you sit in it too long it can make you dizzy. I believe people with high blood pressure should be cautious too.
Yep, with low blood pressure -- it sounds like the water might be a little too hot or, you're spending too much time in the hot water. You could try taking a nice hot shower instead and that'll keep your blood flowing because you're standing and moving around a little bit.
Hot tubs and hot baths can be good but, it's not good to spend too much time in there. I used to have a hot tub and I went in and all the time but, I too got a bit lightheaded and the heat seemed to increase the inflammation. Now I take shorter steam baths in a steam cabinet and hot showers. That helps to loosen up the muscles. however, when my body cools down I do go through what I call the "tighten up" so, I usually walk around a little bit and even do a little yoga very lightly after the heat treatment and let my body cool down with the blood still moving around. It definitely has improved things.
Hope this helps
Hi, my blood pressure is naturally low 90/60 or less and pulse is between 50-60, I cannot sit in a hot bath, hot shower or sauna, I feel really faint and itβs hard to breathe. Low BP is good in most situations except that :)
