Living in Florida I constatnly battle the heat! It causes a lot of my symptoms. For me it is the humidity with the heat that does me in.
On the hot shower part it dialates your vessels causing your BP to go down and that can cause symptoms. We just had a discussion about hot tubs with a lot of info on it.

heat is horrible. HCM hearts cause poor circulation, so it is hard to cool down.
stay hydrated and in the shade. wear a light-colored hat to the keep the sun off your head and don't exert yourself.

The heat and humidity are killer! In our present heat wave I find myself much more symptomatic than normal. I try to drink a lot and stay out of the sun as much as I can.
I walk for exercise and can only do that early in the morning or late in the evening.

I can cope with the heat, but its the humidity I have a problem with.
I only have to walk 1 block from where I park my car to where my office is located. I usually don't have a problem with my breathing, but when it is humid, I have to stop and rest a few seconds.
I am also bothered when I go into and come out of a store (such as Wal-Mart, Sears, etc). It is so cold in there when you first enter, then when you're ready to leave your body grew accustomed to the temperature that when you walk out the door...BAM...it is so unbearable to breath.EstherComment

I heard it gets very hot in Arizona, but you don't have much humidity.
Is this true?EstherComment

One of my friends lives in Phoenix and I have to say --hot is hot.
Yes, AZ is a "dry" heat--almost no humidity and Chicago tends to be like a swamp (well, it used to be a swamp, so no big surprise there).
Because we deal with heat by sweating, the increased moisture in humid air reduces the speed of cooling and dry air is going to suck the sweat right off of you.Comment

Well,
Today in Fl we had a high of 94 with a heat index of 102 and a humidity of 98%!
I'm in trouble both ways!
