Is cold water dangerous?
The problem isn’t the cold water itself, but the sudden change in temperature. Extreme cold causes spikes in blood pressure, which can be risky for people with cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it’s always best to enter and exit the water gradually.
Tips and Recommendations
Drink a glass of water before showering to avoid drops in blood pressure.
Always use lukewarm water, not hot.
Don’t shower if you feel dizzy or faint.
If you have balance problems, consider using a shower chair.
Keep the bathroom well-ventilated and well-lit.
Never rush when getting out of the shower.
