This has happened to me three or four times in the past five years: I go to get in the shower, but after a few minutes under the water my head feels as though it is full of dryer sheets (fuzzy and disoriented), my ears cease to work correctly, and my eyesight becomes completely shot -- It is impossible for me to focus on anything. There I am, dizzy and with my eyes closed, and a sort of anxious feeling comes over me and I become nauseous as if I were extremely nervous. I believe that I have come close to blacking out or fainting on all of the occasions on which this has happened, but it never has. It seems that cool air or surfaces are able to clear my head, but afterwards (at least twice) I have come down with fever and chills.
Could this be a case of shock from the hot water? Or am I experiencing something else?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
