Motion Sickness

Motion sickness is a common problem in people travelling by car, aeroplane, and especially boat. Motion sickness can start suddenly, with a queasy feeling and cold sweats. It can then lead to nausea, dizziness and vomiting.

Your brain senses movement by getting signals from your inner ears, eyes, muscles and joints. When it gets signals that do not match, you can get motion sickness. For example, down below on a boat, your inner ear senses motion, but your eyes cannot tell you are moving.

Where you sit can make a difference. The front seat of a car, the forward carriages of a train, the upper deck on a boat, or the wing seats in a plane, may give you a smoother ride. Looking out into the distance – instead of trying to read or look at something in the vehicle – can also help.
