Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that her symptoms seem to be related to orthostatic hypotension, probably triggered by the hot shower and prolonged standing up position. For this reason, I would recommend avoiding hot water during the shower and use warm water instead. If this situation persists, I would recommend consulting with her physician for a physical exam and some tests to investigate for possible metabolic causes that may trigger this situation:
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for any possible imbalances
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.
-successful patients may be treated surgically.


Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
