Last week, I fainted for the 3rd time in roughly 2.5 years because of a hot shower. The doctors have ruled out things like POTS, epilepsy, and arrhythmias, so it's just straight-up hot-water-induced syncope. The annoying thing is that I took scorching hot showers all my life with ZERO issues...I don't know if it's some sort of post covid thing or what.

In the meantime, I've now got an old lady shower stool and have resigned myself to taking lukewarm showers only after eating and drinking. Also increasing my salt intake, as my blood pressure naturally runs on the lower side, and my cardiologist said it was fine.

Anyone else go through something like this? I'm at my wit's end.
