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?
After working doubles all last week, I finally got to get back in the pool today. Funny thing is, I didn't feel dizzy at all today. I did make sure that my breathing was deep and even, while backstroking. I'm still planning to mention it at my physical, but hopefully either the breathing correction did it, or I was still having aftereffects of my ear infection.
One thing I did realize is that I was VERY VERY tired for the last 2 weeks. I've spent the last couple days just trying to catch up on my rest. I wonder if that made any difference?
I'm just glad that it didn't happen today.
