I am a 61 yr old lap swimmer. about a yr ago I started to get nausea after about 48 lengths. I feel seasick. I have had my cardilogist check me out. Over the last 3 months I stopped swimming and exercising due to high blood pressure. The dr. changed my meds and I am now normal at 120/70 with a pulse of 52 beats. I am obese, 279#and 66" tall. Now that I've been deemed healthy I have returned to the pool with a swim team. I now am getting seasick again and losing my lunch shortly thereafter. I have tried swimming only until the nausea starts and getting out but I get ill. I've been keeping hydrated.
Does any one have an idea what to try to get past the nausea feeling?
Thanks
Don't swim after eating.give yourself time for any food you've had to get out of your stomach.
When I swim in the AM, I take a small piece of cheese before I leave the house. It's almost an hour before I get in the water. Remember the old advice to wait an hour?
Swimming before eating entitles me to a nice breakfast after.
