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 think the inner ear might indeed be my problem. I experimented last night, my night out of the pool. It seems that when I tip my head back at a certain angle is when it happens, even on dry land. So, the swimming really has nothing to do with it. I also got to thinking that about a month ago, I had a throat and ear infection too. It's a good thing that I have a physical coming up in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.
