Anyone out there experience this? On Saturday and Sunday I was practicing/racing DH in northern Maryland. I crashed and "rang my bell" once on each day. Felt a little nauseous and my balance was a little off, but I didn't black out or puke. After my race I got really, really scared on my drive home. Every time I rounded a curve on the highway, I felt like the car was going to totally flip over. My hands and feet sweated profusely. I had to have a friend drive.
Granted, many of the curves were off-camber, which I hate to start with. In fact, on the way to the race location I got scared a few times... but the way home was waaaaay worse. I'm thinking my crashes caused my equilibrium to get thrown off, making things that normally frighten me a little frighten me a whole lot. I realized something must be really wrong with me when I realized it wasn't driving in the mountains (fear of heights) that was the problem... because I got totally freaked out taking curves when I was driving in farmland... not in the hills.
Has anybody else experienced this? Konked your head and then gotten really freaked out while driving????
