    Namaste,

    My water intake varies, I either only sip a couple of times during class, or if I am really sweating, up to or beyond half a litre….I generally drink about 3-4 litres of water during the course of the day…also rehydrate after class with some electrolyte replacement solution.As for the dry eyes, started a couple of hours after a class, I now use Sterile Eye Drops, when I feel my eyes becoming itchy and blurry, and a drop or two before class. I also close my eyes when, my head is in a downward position, to keep sweat out of them. Methinks, my sweat is still really toxic as well. I am due for my annual hypertension check up and tests in early July, will monitor BP. Would really like to get off the medication I am now, hopefully my continuing practice will afford me that.

    Thanks for your assistance, so far;-)

    Paul

    Namaste!

    Namaste!

    I am up to week 4.5 of Bikram now…

    Have had no more issues with hip, to tell you the truth, I have more stability and flexibility, since the event.I take it rather easy with eagle pose, no hooking of foot behind the ankle…the ease of transition will come…

    I am a 33 male, and take meds for hypertension…my hypertension is not stress nor environment related, think more a genetic thing…both sides of the family tree suffer from it. Question, since starting Bikram, there has been an increase in my BP readings, anything I should be alarmed about? Then there is my question on hydration…I sweat a lot during class, and take a rehydrate solution after each class…for the last 2 classes, I have been having issues with dry/irritated eyes…literally, one or both eyes sting like hell,and tear constantly..toxins being released or hydration issue? Your help would be so much appreciated!

    Namaste!
    Paul
