Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Your symptoms are related to low blood pressure. It is caused the widening of blood vessels due to hot water.
Tachycardia and thirst are also caused by hot water.
You shouldn't worry, but it is recommended to get an ECG and EEG done.
I recommend you not to stay in the shower for a long time.
Ask me for anything unclear.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
