Why do I feel dizzy after taking a bath?

The symptom of dizziness is a relatively common symptom of physical illness. Dizziness can be caused by many reasons. For example, dizziness can be caused by physical illnesses such as high blood pressure, or by people with poor physical resistance. There are also symptoms of dizziness caused by excessive fatigue and other reasons. So why does dizziness occur after taking a bath? Let us give you a detailed introduction below.

The temperature in the bathroom is relatively high. The steam will dilate the skin capillaries and concentrate a large amount of blood on the skin, thus affecting the blood circulation throughout the body and reducing the blood supply to the internal organs. Insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain may cause symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and even fainting while taking a bath.

Some people also have not eaten for several hours before taking a bath, are in a hungry state, and have low blood sugar.

Low blood pressure may also cause fainting while bathing. It is recommended that the reader monitor his blood pressure regularly to rule out the possibility of low blood pressure.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mostly caused by insufficient Qi and blood, and should be replenished. Some people are relatively thin, so it is recommended that they strengthen their nutrition and take appropriate food supplements. They can go to the pharmacy to buy yam, coix seed, and water chestnut, mix them and cook them into porridge, and eat two bowls a day. If you persist in this way for 2 to 4 weeks, your physical condition will be improved. If your digestive function is not very good, you can grind these three ingredients into powder and cook them into paste before eating.

Finally, please keep exercising to improve your physical fitness.

Emergency treatment for "pool sickness"

The main reason why bathers feel dizzy in the pool is that the temperature inside the pool is too high and the temperature outside the pool is too low, causing the human body temperature to lose balance. Secondly, the doors and windows in the bathroom are closed, resulting in poor air circulation and oxygen deprivation. In addition, people who get dizzy in the pool are mostly the elderly, the weak and the sick. Especially those with colds, drunken people and those on an empty stomach should be more careful when bathing.

If pool sickness occurs, there will be signs beforehand, such as feeling dizzy, nauseous, and general weakness. At this time, you must not stand up and run out of the pool immediately. Instead, sit on the spot against the wall or ask someone to help you out of the pool. If the pool staff finds someone fainting in the pool, they should immediately help or carry the patient to a ventilated place outside the pool and have them sit cross-legged. Let them open their mouth and exhale. Then put an appropriate amount of cold towel on the patient's forehead. Let the patient lie down and rest after he or she feels better. If the above methods are ineffective, seek medical attention immediately.

After reading the above introduction, everyone should have a general understanding of why people feel dizzy after taking a bath. Although taking a bath is a very good thing for the body, if you don’t take a bath correctly, it may cause some unnecessary harm to the body, and in severe cases it may even cause some diseases.
