Ever Have a "Hot Shower Blackout"?

Question

That is, when you're in the shower & the water is too hot & the room gets too steamed up, you begin to get short of breath & you slowly feel yourself blacking out.

If you don't faint altogether, you manage to get out & breathe cool air.

Ever happen to anyone else?

Answer 1

Ya it happens to me occationally, but i never knew i was blacking out.

Answer 2

Actually that's happened to me a few times. I jumped out of the shower and opened the door and just dropped to the floor....although never lost consciousness, I could hardly breathe. But, this all could have been avoided if I had just turned on the fan that's in the bathroom.

Answer 3

I'm sorry to say I have not. I usually only take warm showers (unless it's really cold outside). Sounds kinda fun though...cheep thrill.  

Answer 4

I almost did one time.  I went running into the living room, I thought I was having a heart attack.  You should have seen the look on my husband's face when I came running toward him buck naked!  

Answer 5

Oh yes!  When it happens to me the only thing I can do is run to my bedroom and let the fan blow all over me.  It *is* scary.  Funny thing though...I take a scalding hot shower everyday, but this only seems to happen to me every once in a while.
