A member asked:

What could cause tachycardia during and after a hot shower? lasts for the rest of the day. no dizziness. is that dangerous or serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is harmless: In a young person, this is not expected to cause any harm. But it is not a good idea to have the temperature of water so high to increase your heart rate. Adjust temperature down to where the water is just comfortable...not too cold but warm to mildly hot.
