Shakiness after Hot bath?

[Mercfh]

Now I take wayyyyyy to hot of showers/baths, but my shakiness in my hands is always SO much worse after a hot bath. I know this happens with MS too (but isn't it more severe).

Am I the only one? Is this an everyperson thing or mainly a BFS'er thing?

Taking a very hot shower and baths ( like I do also), causes your blood pressure to drastically drop, because the blood vessels in the skin have had to dilate. Your heart rate increases to compensate and you can become very shaky. Some people describe coming out of a very hot bath like a sugar crash feeling. As shakiness is generally more noticeable in hands than any other part of the body it is no wonder you are seeing an increase after a very hot shower. Think this is a normal physiological reaction you are having. Saying that I love hot baths also.
