Why do I run short of breath and feel faint every time I take a hot shower?

The hot water fills the shower with steam and forces the air out of the shower. You feel short of breath cause you are breathing are with very little oxygen content. Open up the shower and let some air come in.

Hot water causes your blood pressure to drop. It makes you feel faint and weak. The same thing happens in a hot tub.

thats happened to me. but only when I havent eaten for a while. when my diet is poor, a hot shower will almost make me hyperventilate, and feel faint. something to do w/ the heat and your blood circulation. Make sure you are eating healthy.
