Dehydration: Sounds like you may have been dehydrated. I recommend you drink a couple big glasses of water. That should help your headache, and also prevent that lightheaded feeling when you stand up. Your heart rate will slow down too. Lie down when you feel dizzy.

Get examined ASAP: Although this may be related to other issues. your heart rate is very high: normal is 60-100 bpm. Your dizziness may be related to the elevated heart rate which must be evaluated, diagnosed and treated.

HA, dizzy d/t tachyc: Since you already take triptan, U must have chronic recurrent headaches.The warm bath could cause vasodilitation, then tachycardia with resulting disorientation&dizzy d/t diversion of blood to skin away from brain. Drink fluids. Rest with feet elevated. Tylenol (acetaminophen) for HA. If this persists for more than one hour then see your doctor
