Patient's question:
Why do I always feel chest tightness and shortness of breath when I go to the bathhouse for a soak? My heart beats really fast, and I feel completely drained. I even choke on water. I see how much better the elderly and children are compared to me, especially the elderly. They can bathe for 1 hour, and in the big pool, they can soak for 20 minutes. They are so resilient. But I can't. I have to leave after less than 10 minutes because it's too hot, I can't breathe, and I choke on water.Doctor's answer:
The bathhouse has high temperature and humidity, and people will feel uncomfortable in such a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. The blood vessels expand all over the body, which may lead to symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, and redness of the face. It is recommended that you try to choose times when there are fewer people, or take a shower at home, which may help a lot. Children and the elderly who frequently visit often have lower activity levels, and their sensory organs are less sensitive, so the discomfort may not be as noticeable. The above suggestions are for the question "Why do I always feel chest tightness and shortness of breath when I take a bath in the bathhouse?" and hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
