Is there a cure for sickness from themepark rides?!
Question: Is there a cure for sickness from themepark rides!?
I recently visited Alton Towers and threw up four times with dizzy/nausea spells in between, that lasted to the end of the day!. I've had similar when visting other theme parks and fairgrounds during my life and i'm getting really fed-up with it as it spoils the fun for myself and those who go with me!.
I want to know if there is any prevention for this kind of thing or whether there was anything i could do to stop it from affecting me!.
I've tried changing what i eat, drinking lots of water and even getting plenty of sleep the night before but it makes no difference as the effects of the rides mess with my head and my stomach anyway!.
Can anyone offer me suggestions of what to do to stop feeling like crap after going on these rides, either before or after methods!?
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Ginger, DGL, and Peppermint Oil are great natural products for calming an upset stomach, or you could take Dramamine (an OTC drug) for a similar effect!. It might not be enough of an effect if you've just had your first run on one of the big stomach-turning roller coasters (as a lot of that is also disorientation in addition to the stomach upset), but at least it'll be a good start to minimize (and hopefully eliminate) the effects!.!.!. just make sure you take something at least a good half hour before starting the first ride so it has time to get in your system before your body wants to puke it up ;-)
Also, try not to eat too much throughout the day, and when you eat, eat small amounts and avoid any of the stomach-turning rides for a good hour or so after eating if possible!.
If nothing else, just remember that some people have the general makeup to get more nauseous with roller coasters and some have seemingly iron-clad stomachs!.!.!. don't worry if you get an upset stomach and want to go on some of the easier rides!.
Heck, when I was in high school and went to the local theme park, there were a few people that didn't want to go on the roller coasters, so they made a group that went to all the other fun rides that wouldn't turn their stomachs!. Think of it this way!.!.!. it's better to have fun on the rides that might not be seen as big and scary than to go on the big rides and puke on your friend's shoes (and I think telling your friends that you would rather not puke on their shoes should be a good enough excuse out of it) ;-)

don't eat before any rides
you could take some travel sickness pills, people say they have worked
and start with the tamer rides first
there's not much you can do about it, some people get sick some don't!. I don't, which I'm really glad about because I love theme parks
hope this helps

My husband suffers from exactly the same thing!.
You might have a bit of a problem with the balancing system in your inner ears, perhaps some scarring from a childhood ear infection!.
There is a condition called BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) - this usually makes you dizzy and sick when you get from lying to standing or move your head suddenly and can be diagnosed and cured with a simple physio procedure at the hospital (a neck manipulation - not invasive in any way) - but from what you have said, I think that it is unlikely to be this - worth checking out with your doctor though!.
There was a drug called stemetil (prochlorperazine) which would help to relieve the symptoms you describe - prescription only though and not sure if you can still get it!.
You could try travel sickness pills or an acu-band (a wristband which is supposed to put pressure on a point in your wrist and prevent motion sickness)!.
Only other suggestion is to do what my husband does, which is to avoid going on any of the rides, but sadly, he does miss out on a lot of fun!.
