lake compounce: I am going on a "field trip" to lake compounce with my school (8th grade). If i do get dizzy there...i mean so dizzy i cant walk...should i find a teacher or have a friend frind a teacher? Or walk to first aid or walk to a lifeguard? Or send my friend for first aid or a lifeguard and bring them to me? Also, if i go to first aid what will they make me do? will they help me? How do i make myself feel comfortable with them??|||If you get to the point where you can't walk, lay down and prop your feet up. Make sure you are drinking plenty of liquids. If you are drinking a lot of water, but are still dizzy try some gatoraide. That will replace any nutrients that you may be defficient in. Send a friend or someone near by for help, but make sure you are not left alone, in case you black out. If this happens to you a lot you need to see a doctor.|||you need to find out what is causing dizzy, allergies or nerves? you should not be experiencing dizziness. If you have inner ear problems, that causes dizziness, there could be many reasons, tell someone about it and go find out what is wrong so you do not need to worry about it.|||I understand this can be a scary situation. If you are dizzy from an injury you need to go to the ER. If it is because you stood up too quickly then sit down for a while. If you become so dizzy that you can not walk have a friend seek medical help to come to you. If you feel uncomfortable around medical personnel tell them. They know what you are feeling and want to help. Voice all of your concerns. Really all they can do for you is give oxygen most likely through a mask and get you to the hospital. If this was from an injury PLEASE seek medical attention now. There can be serious delayed effects. Best Of Luck To You|||Ok, first of all, you need to get this dizziness checked out. It could be anything...maybe you're an undiagnosed type 1 diabetic. And, honestly, a lifeguard or a person trained in first aid cannot do much for you if you're dizzy. They do not have the proper medical background to fully understand the implications of your dizziness. They can only treat your symptoms to the best that they were taught. The best thing to do is to get this dizziness checked out by your doctor. If you do get dizzy that you can't walk, LAY DOWN FLAT and have people get help for you, your parents may be called and you may be taken to a hospital. There's nothing that EMTs, Paramedics, lifeguards, or first aiders can do in the field besides lay you flat and take you to the hospital where they'll run tests on you to see what the hell is going on. Paramedics may start an IV line on you if they think your blood pressure is low and they might do a finger stick blood glucose to see if you're hypoglycemic...then they're going to take you to a hospital.|||Some times when you are growing you can get dizzy spells If you get very dizzy sit down right away to prevent from getting hurt. Even if you have to sit down on the ground If the dizziness continues get a friend to get someone a teacher or someone from the first aid station Your teachers should be made aware of the problem you have go to your doctor and find out what is going on and even if it is from growing too fast your teachers should know in the event that you do pass out they would have a better understanding what is going on and how to treat you your doctor should give instructions on how to treat you to your school
