How can I prevent fainting while on roller coasters?


I'm 12 and I have orthostatic hypotension disorder. Just like a regular I want to be able to ride rides at amusement parks ecspicially roller coasters. But whenever I do I always pass out. I'll give you an example. I was at the Justin Timberlake concert and I was jumping up and down and suddenly I felt nasusea and I passed out and they couldn't wake me up and they had to get paramedics and stuff and it was so embarrassing. I just want some kind of treatment because I'm going to Disney World in a month. Please help!

OK! Calm down! You don't have to fell embarrassed! And wear a pair of earplugs and you will be fine! What causes you to pass out is the blood rushing into your head! So if you can't find earplugs, avoid roller-coasters that go upside down! Hope I helped!

Sounds like you might, and I say, might, have motion sickness of some kind....
Ask your mom to take you to the doctor and talk with him or her about a medicine called "Dramamine" or another called "Antivert"..
These medicines prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness...and they may prevent you from passing out too.
Just keep in mind, these medicines will make you drowsy, so just know that...
Lucky, lucky, you...going to Disney...wow...HAVE FUN...

Unless you can get your orthostatic hypotension under control, I wouldn't suggest roller coasters. I understand you want to ride them, but it wouldn't really be safe. Have you been to a neurologist? Have they ever had you try elastic hose or anything?

close ur eyes and wonder as if u r flying in ur dreams! the more you stick to your thoughts the more u'll enjoy!
