General Motion Sickness Information
Motion sickness is the feeling of nausea and vomiting that occurs when traveling in a car, airplane, boat, train or amusement park rides (especially roller coasters). When the body is placed in abnormal positions during travel, the sensitive balance mechanisms in the ear are adversely affected. Since the eyes transmit information based on the body’s spatial balance, vision is also involved. Video games, flight/driving simulators and looking through a microscope can also result in motion sickness because the eyes sense movement but the body remain still.

Possible Causes of Motion Sickness
Motion sickness occurs when motion causes the eyes, sensory nerves and vestibular apparatus of the ear to send conflicting signals to the brain, resulting in a sense of vertigo. Anxiety, genetics, overeating, poor ventilation and traveling directly after eating also contribute to motion sickness. Women are more often affected by motion sickness than men. Children younger than 2 and the elderly are rarely affected.

Possible Symptoms of Motion Sickness
Symptoms of motion sickness include a nausea, vomiting, headache, sweating and a general feeling of illness. Symptoms usually end when motion stops, but symptoms can go on for days in some cases.

Possible Lifestyle Changes for Motion Sickness
Motion sickness while flying can be avoided by booking a seat on the wing; when traveling by ship, book a room in the middle of the ship and get fresh air whenever possible. Try to keep the head as still as possible by pressing it into the headrest. Sit still and breathe deeply. Stay cool, if possible. Avoid reading or watching TV and videos when traveling by car. Do not eat or drink alcoholic beverages before or during travel. Eat and drink small amounts when on extended trips. Whole-grain crackers can help ward off nausea. Avoid odors and aromas that may cause nausea.
