Prevent Motion Sickness

Facts: 

Motion sickness occurs for many people while riding in cars, airplanes, boats, trains or amusement rides.  They often feel queasy or nauseous and get a headache.  Children are more likely to get motion sickness than adults.  The most common age for children to get motion sickness are ages 3 to 12.  Women are at higher risk than men especially during menstruation and pregnancy.

Causes: 

When a person is in a vehicle that moves continuously and forcefully, the organ of balance in their inner ear is affected, causing motion sickness. Motion sickness is likely to happen if a person is also worried about having an attack, if the air is stuffy or filled with fumes, or if the person has just eaten a big meal. Just looking at food can make motion sickness worse.

In motion sickness, a discrepancy exists between expected sensory stimuli and those that are actually perceived by the brain. These unexpected signals translate into a confused message by the brain, leading to the development of symptoms. Generally, symptoms disappear once the brain adapts to the new pattern of motion.

Symptoms and Complications:

Mild motion sickness may cause a headache and make someone feel a little uncomfortable with mild nausea. In bad cases, people may become very anxious, sweat or salivate a lot, become pale and nauseous, and start to vomit. There are no serious complications to worry about.
