Why Is It Difficult To Breath After Having A Hot Bath?
Hello, I'm worried about something that happened a couple of times:
While taking a hot bath, I start having some difficulty breathing. It's as if i can't breathe as intensely as i usually can, so i have to get out of my bath, and breathe very slowly until getting my usual "breathing intensity" back.
Is it bad? Should i be alarmed about anything or is it normal with all the water evaporating?

Hello,
The direct concern of breathing difficulty with hot bath is irritation of underlying bronchi through highly humid atmospheric air of the bathroom from much heating of the water.
Nothing to panic, bust needs adjustment of water temperature only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
