Motion sickness is an unpleasant feeling of dizziness and nausea that some people experience while traveling in a moving vehicle on land or on water. Amusement park rides can also trigger motion sickness. Sufferers experience mild to moderate discomfort, but in severe cases, the symptoms can get very uncomfortable and unmanageable. Motion sickness most commonly affects women, children and people prone to migraines. Children mostly suffer from motion sickness while traveling as do almost all passengers on a ship in very rough seas. Small boats and cars are the worst offenders.
Motion sickness occurs when the eyes, the inner ear and the body send different and conflicting signals to the brain. From inside a moving vehicle, the inner ear may sense the motion, but the eyes do not discern the movement, which triggers off symptoms of motion sickness. In some people, the anticipation of movement itself can result in anxiety and symptoms of motion sickness.
