i am a seasoned walker (outside) but decided to try out couch to 5k on a treadmill. I have only been doing it once or twice a week so to get to week 6 has taken me about 3 months.
Last week I was about 15 mins in (part walking, park running) and all of a sudden, whilst running, the room started spinning. I held onto the handle bars but it just got worse so I had to stop. Only just managed to stop the machine and then rest my head on the screen but dizziness didn’t stop. I part collapsed part put myself into sitting down and room spinning continued. I shut my eyes but was vomiting within about a minute. Each time I moved even a small amount I was sick. Each time i opened my eyes I was sick. Room spinning without respite. Literally like being on a waltzer.
My brother came to my rescue about an hour later and gave me anti sickness tablet which you disolve under your top lip. He got me to a laying down position and the tablets worked. I have been fine since. Not sick again after the tablets kicked in and no further symptoms.
I can only think it’s some sort of severe motion sickness from the treadmill. Has anyone else had anything like this?
