i put it down to the heat.
if you feel dizzy regularly, have colder baths or leave the window open a bit so its not so steamy. But at this time of the year i cant imagine my soloutions being popular!
i might open one of the windows and put a cold flannel on my head next time
in english:
it's a headrush. and the reason it's worse when you've been in the bath is because the heat and lying down diverts blood from your head out towards your extremities, and can take a little while to re-adjust.
don't worry, but be careful getting up.
I get headrushes just getting up normally after a long time of sitting anyway.
im just pointing out that i dont have really hot baths
But Kaff didn't say it was just the heat. The reason you are getting these rushes is a combination of the heat (if you have a bath you don't sit in cold water) and the fact that you are laying down in the bath.
I get them all the time when having a bath. Just make sure the window is open and you get up slowly.
Was going to suggest spending less time as well soakin in your bath.
Give yourself that wash over, do you hair so as u get in. Lay down for 5-10mins. Then out ya get.
Be very careful. It can be very dangerous if you black out, funnily enough.
Make sure you drink water when you're in the bath too.
