Inner ear issue

06ZGK

Has anyone experienced inner ear problems impacting the ability to do flip turns? I have dizziness and nausea if try flip turns. I know there are maneuvers to treat, but wondering if others have had this and been successful in successfully resolving. Thank you.

  • This is one of issues I am attempting to mitigate at the moment.  I have experienced dizziness/nausea/vertigo-like symptoms for years now.  Swimming on my back & flip turns have always exasperated the symptoms.  At a recent check up with my GP, he found I have a perforated eardrum.  Finally meeting my ENT next week.  To mitigate the issue, I use a ribbed ear-plug, a swim cap (which I pull over my affected ear) and use a snorkel (placing the bands over the affected ear); these minimize water getting into my inner ear channels.  Hoping my ENT will have other solutions.  My GP also prescribed a beta-histamine to reduce my dizziness.
