What Causes Nausea After Being In Hot Tub?
Question: I felt nauseated after being in a hot tub and warm pool. What causes this
Brief Answer:
Vasodilation induced low blood pressure
Detailed Answer:
Good day.
Noted your concern. Being in hot tub can make the blood vessels in skin to dilate ( vasodilation ). When this happens, the amount of blood going to brain can come down and your blood pressure may drop slightly. This can make you to develop nausea and giddiness especially on standing up.
Are you taking any blood pressure medicines? Blood pressure medicines may make this symptoms worse.

Dear Dr. Pillar,
Thank you for explaining my response . I usually have lower blood pressure anyway so no wonder .
I've been diagnosed with IBS- constipation related And fibromyalgia and take cymbalta daily and Bentyl occasionally for pain. I often have pain lower right quadrant ( no evidence if anything on ultra sound scans) . Often the pain in my lower right side extends up to my face on right and sometimes to back and down
My leg. Feels like muscle cramps
Followed
By nerve pain. Any advice or explanation or referral
Would be much appreciated . Thank you!!!!
All the best

Brief Answer:
Neurology consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hi Ms XXXXXXX
Good morning .
The cramps and pain could be due to fibromyalgia itself. However, several neurological problems can cause it. It need a detailed neurological examination. A referral to neurologist is the most appropriate thing. You may request your general practioner for a neurology referral.
It is worth checking your blood glucose levels, Thyroid blood works, Vitamin D levels, fasting calcium,magnesium, albumin and Phosphorus levels.
Wish you goo health and a happy new year
