Is It Normal To Have Nausea With Sickness And Dizziness After Playing In A Amusement Park?

Hi, two days ago I went to an amusement park and rode a lot of spinning rides with my kids. After the last one I felt so sick and dizzy. It has been two days now and I am still feeling nausea. Is that normal? and when should I expect to feel better? This is awful!

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to either over stimulation or pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

Though symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Cinnarizine preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician), the underlying cause needs to be treated.

If it still persists, then you need to consult your Physician & get a complete clinical examination done.
Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & proper nutrition status and avoid stress.
And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements.

Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
