I had decided I was not going to post that this had happened again but after much thought I thought I would in case anyone else is doing the things I was or experiencing the thing.
As some of you know, several weeks ago I fainted badly after a bath. I do like my baths hot, and have one maybe 2-3 times a week and although I still have it hot, I am careful it is not too hot and have been fine for weeks.
Anyway, I had a bath when I got home from work yesterday at approx 1800, when I stepped in I said out loud "bloody hell that is hot" I stayed standing in it and topped up with a touch of cold water. When I got out I had to sit on the edge for a moment
I then got ready to go out, I did have half a pint of forest fruits in soda whilst getting ready.
For the first time ever I forgot to stick a bottle of soda in the car but we were off to a house party so I figured of course I could get water.
We got there, I had a glass of water - ugh minging tap water.
At approx 1200 we were stood in a room of approx 25 people and I sarted feeling sick, then I went so hot and I could not physically move or speak. I was trying to get my partners attention but I couldn't even grab his arm. He soon realised something was wrong and got hold of my arm and literally as he did I went down and he got our friend to get my other arm. I was rather airy fairy for a couple of hours then!
I do realise I had a hot bath, which was definately too hot! It dehydrated me and then I did not drink enough water and it caught up with me.
I am back to normal again today and well hydrated.
Please be careful if you like hot baths. Just adding more cold could save you from that same exeperience.
