Vasodilate: Hot showers can lower your blood pressure by opening up (vasodilating) your blood vessels. This should be a brief episode . If it persists see your docotr.

Vasodialation: This is related to dialation of blood vessels. Please STOP taking such hot showers if this has happened more than once. Really hot water isn't good for skin either.
