  • Maybe the water is too hot?

  • This is normal. This is why it is good to take a bath before you go to bed. I really seriously doubt you need to go to the doctor.

  • A hot bath or shower will cause increased heart rate, and dilated blood vessels. If you get faint getting out of hot bath,the temp is too hot for you to tolerate. Also if you are dehydrated it makes it worse.

  • If I'm remembering correctly, it has to do with blood pressure. I used to have this issue. Sometimes, being in a hot shower wasn't even required to set it off. I was once near the steps and I almost crashed down them because this sensation kicked in.

  • Yes, I get tired after every shower. I love taking baths at night to fall asleep.

  • This happened to me just about 10 minutes ago. I feel so tired and relaxed now.
