I recently experience the following
episode: I was lying on the bed and my
daughter asked me to look at her as I was
upside down. While on my back, I layed my
head off the edge of the bed. I was in
that position for no more than 10 seconds
when I began to feel slightly
uncomfortable. After about 15 seconds in
this position, I sat upright and was
immediately sick. I was nauseas, dizzy,
and vomited each time I moved (because of
the dizziness). I remained in this
condition from 4:00 p.M. Until the
following morning.
I didn't see a doctor because I figured it
would pass, and it did. But I was
extremely concerned (and still am) that I
may suffer later from something as a
result of this.

What's physically happening when you site
up quickly after being inverted is that
blood is rushing from your head, which can
cause you to feel dizzy and off balance.
People who invert are generally asked to
lay on thier side for 10-15 seconds before
reutnring to a head-above-heart position
in order to normalize the pressure in the
body.
It's the nausea and vomitting, however,
that worries me. How many times did you
vomit in total?
