Is It Normal? When i get from out the hot bath water I allways get dizzy and lean on the sink to clam down. When I took a bath this time it was not normal!After I got out the tub, I leaned on the sink and closed my eyes to clam, but this time I blackout and fell on the ground. When got up I have scratches all over my stomach!
IS IT NORMAL.If not what is it?

    The switch from a hot temperature to a cool temperature will lower your blood pressure, especially if you already have blood pressure problems. Talk to your doctor and see if he can help.

    It is most likely from your description to be caused by postural hypotension. Basically this is caused by a drop in blood pressure upon standing and happens when your body has not responded quickly enough to increase your blood pressure in time to stop you feeling faint. This is very common in young adults and when getting out of baths. However it may be something more sinister and if it has reached the point where you faint regularly it is definately worth seeing your Dr about this.

    I used to get like that whenever I got out of the shower. I read somewhere that it has something to do with the heat and blood pressure.

    Should probably see a doctor.

    I had this, too. Apparantly it's because you could be getting out of the bath too fast? I remember almost falling to the ground so much, and the first time I did. The next times I tried to test myself to see if I could stand it without falling. It was hard, but I eventually was able to stand it.

      I had this to, sometime when I stand up fast from the couch or my bed, I feel dizzy sometimes. One time I even collapsed, but then I was sick.
