steam rooms

Does anyone know if steam rooms are a bad idea when you have Chiari? I had a migraine following my last two steams, but I also had a bad virus.  Not sure I will return any time soon!  Just wondering though.

Last time I use the sweat lodge I got realy sick. I think it was due to the high temparature and high humidity.

My bf invited me to a spa.i tried the steem room,but went out shortly afterwards as i didnt feel comfortable anymore.sudden temperature changes make me feel strange and more after surgery.i think it can be different for everyone,but i avoid it for now.i also got a message and just to stretch me and my neck on the table made me feel so dizzy and off balance for a while.i hate chiari is affecting everything and keeps us away from enyoing things.

  I would suggest talking to ur Dr to see if u  may have other related issues or non related issues where the sauna may not be the best idea.....

  BP and pressure can sometimes be affected by extreme heat....even the condition POTS ...and that is a related issue to Chiari...so do find out b4.
