A member asked:
Why am i tired after a hot shower ? does bp drop and vessels dialate ? is it good for heart
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vessels dilate.: Vessels dilate and BP falls; one can feel wiped out after a hot shower. It's not necessarily bad for the heart; however, there is evidence that ones immune system is stimulated by taking a cool shower. Perhaps one reasonable approach would be to run cool water over ones body prior to ending ones shower. This would initiate vasoconstriction and support ones blood pressure as well.
