What is motion sickness?

Motion sickness develops when the brain is unable to process and perceive information received from the eyes, ears and other areas of the body.

You have motion sickness if you feel sick because of the motion of a car, plane, ship, and the symptoms bother you even when you use the attraction in an amusement park.

No one is immune from this discomfort, although children and women are especially often affected.

The risk of developing motion sickness is high against the background of the following conditions:

  • Family anamnesis;
  • Birth control pills;
  • Middle ear pathologies;
  • Menstruation;
  • Migraine;
  • Parkinson's disease;
  • Pregnancy.

Movement disorders can be a real surprise to you, because it's possible to feel great one minute and suddenly have symptoms.

The following symptoms are characteristic of motion sickness:

  • Cold sweat;
  • Dizziness;
  • Tiredness
  • Headache;
  • Irritation;
  • Decreased ability to concentrate;
  • Nausea and vomiting;
  • Increased saliva in the mouth;
