THE DIZZINESS IN A BOAT

THE DIZZINESS

Dizziness is the great spoiler of any cruise, especially if people who do not
have the habit of sailing frequently. When a crew member catches him, thanks to his appearance,
fluids and noises that he emits, it is easy for him to infect other members (and members).
Although dizziness is not serious, you feel like you are dying and that feeling of
“I’m dying!” it increases even more if you think about the time it takes to reach port. But no, no
no one dies, although there comes a time when it is desired.
There is a certain psychological component to motion sickness. I have met people who just
Thinking that they are going to embark, they have already gotten seasick. I know of a case of a lady, who during the
she cannot go down inside the boat because, according to her, she gets seasick immediately, but in
change when the ship is in a rough anchorage, in which she moves more and worse than in a
crossing, you can spend hours down. Mystery… Other people, subjected to “dizzying” conditions,
instead they don’t get dizzy.
Among men, very men, there is the idea that getting dizzy is a weakness
inappropriate for their sex and when they begin to feel dizzy, in addition to the unpleasant sensations
they have a worse time for not having been “manly enough”. A stupid.
I know people, including myself, who despite being used to sailing,
under certain circumstances they become completely seasick.
THE CAUSES OF DIZZINESS. In our inner ear, there are semicircular canals,
oriented in the three directions of space, containing a liquid that when moving through the interior
it allows the brain to have a certain idea of ​​how we move. Plus what we see, plus the signs
that send to the brain receptors in the skin, muscles, and joints, cause the brain to make a
composition of place of how the body moves. However, if some sensations do not match
with others, the brain gets mixed up and from the mess to dizziness there is a short distance. For example, if we are browsing with
a certain swell and we go down into the chamber, in the semicircular canals, the moving liquid
signal to the brain that we are moving, but our eyes and other receptors send the
signal corresponding to the fact that we do not move, since inside the ship we do not have references that
indicate that the ship is moving. The poor brain, especially if it is not trained or has a high
coefficient of “marujez” does not know which card to stay with and when in doubt he gets dizzy
SYMPTOM. The first thing we feel when we get dizzy is a certain gastric discomfort that
increases over time. You don’t feel like eating. Moreover, thinking about food makes you fatal. If you are a smoker,
do not feel like anything, BUT NOTHING AT ALL, smoking. A cold sweat appears, pallor,
drowsiness, tiredness, yawning… and sometimes suddenly the mother of all nausea arrives,
totally uncontrollable. From there the dizziness has possessed you. Let’s enjoy it!
Crew members prone to seasickness should be observed for these symptoms. A
Quick intervention can tackle the problem in time.
