What should I do if I get seasick while flying a paraglider?

Flying a paraglider is an adventure that not everyone can afford. However, like any extreme sport, paragliding can cause many people health problems, including motion sickness. Seasickness is an unpleasant condition caused by an imbalance in the human body that is manifested by nausea, dizziness and general weakness. What to do if I get motion sickness while flying a paraglider? Let's find out.

Prepare in advance

If you know that you are prone to motion sickness, prepare for your flight in advance. For example, don't eat heavy foods before your flight, get plenty of rest, and avoid alcohol and other substances that can aggravate motion sickness symptoms. It may also help to take anti-nausea pills with you and consult your doctor about possible ways to prevent it.

Focus on your breathing

When you feel the symptoms of motion sickness coming on, focus on your breathing. Slowly and deeply breathe in and out. This will help reduce stress levels and calm your nervous system.

Avoid spins and sudden movements

If you get motion sickness, avoid spinning and sudden movements. Ask your pilot to reduce speed and make the flight smoother and gentler.

Use acupressure

Acupressure is a technique in which pressure is applied to certain points on the body to reduce pain and tension. Some points on the body are associated with reducing the symptoms of motion sickness. For example, a point between your thumb and index finger, a point under your nose, and a point on your wrist. Try pressing on these points to reduce symptoms.

Eyes on the horizon

Look at the horizon to reduce vertigo and motion sickness symptoms. Focus your gaze on the clear contours of the horizon and try not to move your eyes during the flight. This can help reduce the effects of visual stimulation on your vestibular perception.

Relax after your flight

After a paragliding flight, be sure to rest and give your body time to recover. Drink water and avoid heavy food so as not to overload your stomach. If you are still experiencing motion sickness symptoms even after your flight, try some stress relief techniques such as meditation or yoga.

In conclusion, flying a paraglider is an unforgettable adventure that can cause you symptoms of motion sickness. However, with the right preparation and knowledge of how to cope with motion sickness, you can enjoy this exciting sport without harming your health. If you suffer from severe motion sickness, do not hesitate to ask your doctor for advice.
