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
I was having some queasiness when the swim group pool had a salty taste to it, and it helped when I put a few drops of ginger extract in the water I drank during workouts. Now they're back to regular chlorinated water, which sets off my allergies but doesn't make me queasy. (Small favors, ha!)
I also have found the ginger helpful for open water swims in saltwater settings. Fresh water doesn't seem to have the same effect.
