Any one have issues with hot showers post surgery?

Felt really weak after one wondered if this happened to anyone else?

I know hot showers and baths can mess with your blood pressure, usually lower than normal. That's why they advise pregnant women against them. So it's possible that's what happened to you. If you have a BP monitor see what it is if it happens again.

I almost passed out in the shower after surgery. I asked my doctor if it was alright if I discontinued my blood pressure medication & it didn't happen again.

If you still have some of the anaesthesia in your body, being in a hot shower or tub can reactivate it and cause you to feel faint.

How long should you wait to take a hot shower?

I felt faint getting out of the tub yesterday. I had to sit on the edge for awhile before I felt better. It felt, to me anyway, like a blood pressure thing. Our bodies aren't used to this.
