    Sounds like it’s not as simple as I thought it was.

    Pretty sure I’m still pretty accurate on the “wreaks havoc” part.

      Indeed, hot baths are so harmful to your health, which is one of the reasons why the Japanese have one of the shortest lifespans on the planet - it’s because of those daily hot baths and onsen that they partake in.

        What a dipshit argument.

        Ya, if you run 5 miles a day every day, you’re gonna be in great shape.

        If you snort mountains of coke and eat cake without any exercise for 20 years and then force yourself to run for 5 miles, you’re going to blow your heart out.

        Recent studies say for most people, a half hour in the hot tub is the equivelent of a half hour run. It is intense on the circulatory system.

        If you are saying Mathew Perry had the diet and physical activity level, and hence the circulatory system of a 54 year old Japanese man, then youvare a dipshit.

          It is the equivalent of a half hour walk at best, heart rates dont generally break 100’s in a hottub, a slow jog will be in the 120-140 range.

      If I recall my terms right it’s vasogenic shock. Essentially pipes without enough fluid and thus not enough pressure make the pump go wonky… so, yea, havoc wreaked. I’d say you’re accurate there.

        Vasogenic shock is caused generally by severe disregulation in the body - anaphylaxis, sepsis, lactic acidosis.

        What could have occured is a vasovagal syncope, where a sudden transient drop in blood pressure causes someone to lose consciousness temporarily. In this case, being tired, sleepy and getting quickly into a hottub, or sitting in it for a bit and then getting up suddenly could do the trick.
