When to avoid hot springs?
Safety first: when to be cautious while hot springs offer many benefits, people with heart conditions should take precautions. Long or excessively hot soaks can place extra demand on the heart. If you have arrhythmias, unstable blood pressure, or advanced heart failure, consult your physician before soaking. Don’t soak when ill: if you have open wounds, a weakened immune system, or are pregnant, it’s wise to avoid hot springs to prevent complications or infections. Limit soak time: overexposure to hot temperatures can cause dizziness, dehydration, and fainting.
