Motion sickness
Travel woes? Feeling queasy on the go?
Motion sickness is a common condition triggered by repeated movements when traveling by car, boat, plane, or train. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and sweating, which can make traveling uncomfortable or distressing. It results from a mismatch between the sensory signals the brain receives, causing confusion and the onset of sickness. Managing motion sickness may involve pre-travel medications, acupressure wristbands, and adopting strategies to reduce sensory input, such as focusing on the horizon or avoiding reading during travel.
Access Telehealth allows you to consult with healthcare providers about motion sickness. Through virtual appointments, you can explore prevention techniques, receive advice on over-the-counter or prescription remedies, and develop strategies to make travel more enjoyable, all from the convenience of your home.
Precautions
- Focus on a fixed point on the horizon or close your eyes to reduce the sensory mismatch that can contribute to motion sickness.
- Ensure good ventilation and fresh air. Avoid strong odors, smoke, and poorly ventilated spaces, as these can worsen symptoms.
- Ginger is widely regarded for its anti-nausea properties. Consuming ginger in the form of tea, candies, or capsules before and during travel can help alleviate symptoms.
Common Medications
- Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine)
- Meclizine (Bonine, Antivert)
- Scopolamine (Transderm Scop)
