What is Motion Sickness?
|

|
 |
| If you sometimes feel nauseous, dizzy, or even feel like
vomiting when riding in a car, plane, or boat, you may suffer
from motion sickness. Motion sickness is related to your
sense of balance, which is maintained by the complex interaction
of signals from your inner ear and various senses (sight,
touch, smell, etc). Together, they tell your brain where
your body is in space—in what direction you’re heading,
whether you’re turning or standing still. These signals
sometimes get confused. For instance, if you’re reading
in the back seat of a car, your inner ear and skin receptors
feel the motion of the car, but your eyes are focused on
the page. The result may be motion sickness. |
