High temperatures & exertion cause your peripheral blood vessels to dilate with the goal of cooling the blood to keep core temperature down and maintain homeostasis. (flushed skin) Your integumentary system can contain up to 5% of you blood volume.

Exercising in a steam room causes a sudden drop in blood pressure as blood rushes to the skin for cooling. This requires the heart to work harder to maintain a useful BP . . . in short; straining your heart and causing sudden BP changes.
