Question....

**MatrixGuy** · 05-08-2006, 12:48 PM

Ok, here goes. I went to a theme park with my girlfriend for my birthday on Friday 5th May. It's supposed to be one of the best in the UK (Alton Towers). Never been before so i thought i would give it a shot. Anyway, i have never been a fan of rollercoasters, etc.... am not a wuss, i just dont like that 'sinking' feeling. I went on one of the rides (Nemesis) and as soon as i came off i had a banging head, dizziness, sickness, etc. I just thought this would be natural having just done loop the loop and everything else at 80mph+

Anyway, its now Monday and i still have a splitting headache, slight dizziness. Taken painkillers, ibuprofen, etc but made no difference. I don't feel quite right either. Any suggestions? Is it nothing?

Only reason am asking because i don't really feel like lifting anything at the moment.

I'm no medical professional so understand that. The pressure of the ride, the G forces may have caused some micro misalignment of your spine, thus putting pressure on you spinal cord. Perhaps it aggravated an old injury? Hell may the G forces made a small rupture in one of your organs. But several days after the ride and stil having symptoms...I'd go see an MD bro.....and don't lift till he clears you. Listen to your body.

Thanks bro. Not had any back injuries before though.

Bump for more responses.

How is your hearing? Muffled at all since the ride?

I'd definately see a doctor. Better safe then sorry.

Some old wooden roller coasters are pretty rough. It feels like 100 mini car accidents in a span of 2 minutes. I've felt mild concussion-like symptoms after riding one of these stupid things with my girl.

The ride is fairly modern.

Nothing wrong with my ears either.... just the banging headaches.
