Motion sickness occurs when your brain can’t make sense of information sent from your eyes, ears and body. Lots of motion- in a car, airplane, boat, or even an amusement park ride can make you feel queasy, clammy or sick to your stomach. Some people vomit.
Symptoms of motion sickness
Symptoms can strike without warning. They can get worse quickly. You may feel sick to your stomach (nausea). Other symptoms include vomiting, pale skin, headache, a cold sweat, dizziness, and irritability.
Causes of motion sickness
Motion sickness is an imbalance between what you see and what you feel. In the car, the car is moving forward. However, your body is standing still. This imbalance is what causes you to feel sick.
Motion sickness is common in older people, pregnant women, and children between the ages of 5 and 12. Also, it’s common in people who have migraine headaches. It may be genetic. Once the motion stops, the motion sickness stops. You’ll gradually feel better. In rare cases, motion sickness is triggered by a problem with your inner ear. This could be due to fluid build-up or an ear infection. Parkinson’s disease can also cause motion sickness.
