I periodically faint after or during a sauna session. is there a link to heart disease. i take blood pressure medication.

Faint: I suspect that your blood pressure drops significantly while in the sauna from heat and sweating. Bring your bp gadget to document this. You may have to lower your bp meds when you go to the sauna.
