Motion Sickness

Motion sickness also called travel sickness is a disorder that involves feeling nauseated (sick) when travelling. It is not always associated with vomiting. Other symptoms include cold sweats, dizziness, pallor and headaches.

The most common form of motion sickness is when traveling by car (car-sickness). Travelling by boat is another common form of motion sickness. In fact any mode of transportation is associated with motion sickness including planes, trains and even amusement rides.

When you experience motion, the vestibular system (ears) send numerous messages to the brain and then to your body to establish balance. This precise mechanism and equilibrium is altered when the body is overwhelmed (bumpy roads, rocky seas) with signals when in transit, furthermore other sensory organs such as your eyes which can see your body is not moving will be sending contradictory messages to your brain, the brain becomes confused. This leads to the symptoms of motion sickness. The sensitivity of the vestibular system and its ability to adjust to external vibrations is different in every individual. This determines how susceptible you are to motion sickness.

Often the symptoms resolve by themselves as soon as the journey has ended. However, if you are a frequent traveller or have predictable journeys you can plan for you may want some anti sickness medications to make your journey more pleasant.
