In the last few weeks I've noticed after about 500m of backstroke or more, when I go upright I get REALLY dizzy. No other stroke has this effect. If I do less than 500 or so, there's really not a problem. Anyone ever had this problem? If so, are there remedies? Would using earplugs help?
i had a similar problem swimming short course of anything over 400. and also doing corkscrew drills.
i went to an ENT you might want to do the same. anyway, he said i had postional vertigo. i noticed also if i fly over 5 hours and change time zones often i get dizzy. anyway, mine was traced back to smacking the back of my head on the wall doing backstroke. it loosened the inside of the inner ear(balance) i think they told me it was like coral if it breaks off it floats back and forth. man when i get these episodes it is terrible. lucky, it doesnt happen often. check it out seriously. i was about 32 when it happened
