Summer diving health tips, cramps, vomiting, tinnitus coping methods

Many people like to go diving in the hot summer, but diving also brings many troubles, such as warm-up before going into the water and how to deal with emergencies after going into the water. Here I will tell you about some problems encountered after going into the water and their solutions.

cramp:

Cramps can occur if you are nervous, the water is too cold, or you stay in the water for too long. The warm-up before going into the water should be sufficient, and the time in the water should not be too long. If you have cramps, don't panic.

For example, if your toes cramp, bend your legs immediately and use force to pull the toes apart and straighten them; if your calves cramp, take a deep breath, lie on your back on the water, hold your toes with your hands, and stretch your calves forward to stretch and relax the contracted muscles; when your fingers cramp, clench your hands into fists and then open them forcefully, repeat this process until you feel relieved.

Nausea and vomiting :

This is what happens when dirty water gets into your nose. Get ashore quickly, then press the Zhongwan and Neiguan points with your fingers. If you have Rendan, you can also hold one in your mouth. To prevent enteritis, you can also eat a few cloves of raw garlic.

Itchy skin, rash:

Mainly caused by skin allergies. Go ashore immediately. Take a tablet of Astemizole or Chlorpheniramine and you will feel better soon.

Headache:

The causes may be chronic rhinitis, choking on water or cold body, or temporary cerebral vasospasm resulting in insufficient blood supply. At this time, you should go ashore quickly, massage the Baihui, Taiyang and Lieque points on the top of your head with your thumb, then apply a hot towel to your head and drink a cup of hot water, and you will feel better.

Abdominal pain and distension:

Abdominal pain and bloating may occur just after a meal or when diving on an empty stomach. At this time, you should go ashore and lie on your back, press Zhongyuan, Shangyuan or Zusanli with the tip of your big toe, take 3 to 5 ml of Ten Drops of Water orally, and apply a hot towel to your abdomen.

Earache, tinnitus:

It may be that there is water in the ears or in the nose. The drainage methods are:

① Tilt your head toward the side where the water is in your ear, pull the earlobe firmly, and hop on one foot with the leg on the same side;

②Place your palms against the ear canal and press the ear shut tightly. If water gets into your left ear, tilt your head to the left and quickly pull your hands away, and the water will be sucked out.

③ Use a sterilized cotton swab to insert into the ear canal to absorb the water.

Dizziness and headache:

The main reason is that the diving time is too long, blood accumulates in the lower limbs, brain ischemia, the body consumes a lot of energy and the body is overly tired. Go ashore immediately to rest, keep your whole body warm, and drink some light sugar and salt water.

Itchy and painful eyes:

It may be caused by unclean water. After getting ashore, you should immediately rinse your eyes with clean, light salt water, then use chloramphenicol or erythromycin eye drops. It is best to apply a hot compress before going to bed.
