Some nausea is only going to respond to medication. Follow the treatment regimen described by your doctor. Watch for side effects — many anti-nausea medications cause drowsiness.  Prochlorperazine is the most commonly used anti-nausea medication. It is moderately effective for nausea and other GI disorders, but not as effective for chemotherapy-induced nausea. Metoclopramide and ondansetron are two other anti-nausea medications your doctor may prescribe. Always follow your doctor's instructions on dosage and duration of medication. If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal, chances are that many doctors prescribe it for the nausea that can accompany chemotherapy. Many studies have shown that it can be an effective treatment for nausea. Keep in mind that marijuana comes in many forms — a candy or other edible form might be a good choice. Talk to your medical professional about a possible prescription. Unfavorable side effects of include vertigo, dry mouth, low blood pressure, and depression. If you have experienced nausea for over a month and if your vomiting has lasted more than two days, you should see your doctor. Also go if you have unexplained weight loss. Your doctor will be able to help you, and might include a different diet or even medication. Extreme nausea coupled with other symptoms might mean you need to take a trip as soon as possible to your doctor or a clinic. Take prompt action if nausea is accompanied by:  Chest pains High fever Cramping Fecal odor in your vomit Fainting Confusion Blurred vision This would mean a trip to the emergency room or an immediate appointment at your doctor’s office.

This will begin the first phase: hop. Generally, you will want to use your dominant foot. Get a running start (lasting about 17-18 strides) so you can forcefully jump off the board. Pull your opposite foot up behind you.  Make sure not to run beyond the board during your hop, as doing so is considered a foul.  For the hop and skip, you will begin your jump with the same foot. While you are airborne during the hop, skip, and jump, never let your hands drop lower than your chest or higher than your chin. Move both arms forward, as if you are grabbing something in front of you. If your arms are too high, you are more likely to fall out of position when you hit the ground. Don't position your arms behind your back. Doing so will slow you down during takeoff and landing. During the hop and step, you will land with your dominant foot flat or roll from heel to toe. Do not put too much pressure on either your heel or toes. Once you've touched the ground, roll forward onto the balls of your feet and prepare for the step. Again with your dominant foot, jump with your back leg extended behind the body. You will keep your your back leg's heel up to prepare for the landing. Land with your back leg forward to complete the step and prepare for the final phase: jump.  Keep your knee high and parallel to your hips for correct form.  For the step, your goal is to get off the ground as soon as possible. During the jump, you will leap with your opposite (formerly back foot). By this point, you will be close to the sandpit. Bring both feet together with your knees parallel to your chest as you jump into the pit. Unlike the first two steps, land the jump with your heels first.

Although you should have already warmed up by this point, you can go through a mock jump right before you make the actual leap. Many athletic jumpers use a mock run-through in the seconds before as a way to build up momentum. You should do the same as you  count down to your leap. Use these final moments as an opportunity to check everything you're doing with your jump set-up. In a jump down to a lower place, you won't want to jump much higher than you already are. Get just enough force to earn you the proper stance and momentum. Keep your elbows close to your body, and tuck your chin in close to your neck. Bend your knees and lunge forward however much you need to. All of this will minimize potential injury.  For the sake of keeping your body straight, keep your eyes fixed forward. This will keep your body from going imbalanced in mid-jump. Some people may freak out if they see themselves dropping a far-enough distance, so if you're queasy, it's best to keep your eyes off the ground. A proper athletic jump should end in the same stance as it began. Do your best to keep your body straight. Even in freefall, it's important to keep your stance straight and stable. Letting your limbs go wild will increase the risk of injury.  Keep your feet and knees together while you jump. This will maximize the chances of you landing on both feet.  Although you'll want to keep your body from moving around excessively, you should allow room for flexibility as your body meets the landing. Giving your body the freedom to adjust as you meet the ground is essential for preventing injury. Don't lock your knees at any point, and give your muscles the limberness they'll need to counter the force of the land.  Bending the knees will reduce shock. Just make sure your legs aren't bent more than 90 degrees.  Exercising with squats will help your body adjust to this change when it's needed. If your body is "soft" (rather than tensed), you'll be able to react naturally to a landing. This is a natural way of minimizing potential damage in a fall. With this said, it's a good idea to try to make yourself as relaxed as possible before you set into your jump. Try to strike a balance between going limp and holding your proper form. In any type of jump, landing on one foot effectively doubles the amount of pressure on that foot. Do your best to keep your legs and feet together throughout the jump. This will maximize the chances of your feet hitting the ground at the same time. Landing on both feet is more important if your jump is high enough. An imbalanced fall can result in severe injury.  Don't try to break your fall with your hands. Hands can alleviate some of the shock on your feet, but they can generally withstand only a fraction of the pressure that feet can.  When you land, try to land on the balls of your feet, shoulder-width apart. It's not just a thing for action movies. A landing roll is arguably the best way of absorbing shock from a fall.  If you're landing from a height, you should aim for a diagonal roll. Pushing yourself into a roll with one foot will avoid placing stress on your spine. As you fall, aim a shoulder to the ground in the direction you want to roll in. As you're rolling, take a foot and hit the ground with it to give you the extra force you need to complete the roll.  Rolls are difficult to master and should be left to trained athletes. It should be said as a high-difficulty alternative to landing on both feet. Try rolling on both sides. It's a good habit for athletic versatility, and you may find you prefer one side over the other.  For practice, regular "gymnastics rolls" (without a jump) will get you used to the experience of rolling. They're relatively easy to do provided you have a degree of fitness and flexibility. If you want to practice with diagonal rolls, a playground (with a soft ground) is a good place to start.  Rolls lead well into continued movement. This is why they're so highly recommended in sports like parkour.
