What is Motion Sickness?

Motion sickness is a condition in which an individual responds to certain types of motion. Seasickness and travel sickness are classic examples of motion sickness. It is basically feeling the urge to throw up as a result of repeated movements when travelling, whether on land (car, train, bus), on water (ship, boat, cruise), or in the air (plane, helicopter). People of all ages can get motion sickness. However, it is more prevalent among children, pregnant women, and those under medications. Today, motion sickness remains a hindrance to many people who commute in conventional transportation, like buses and trains. The advancement of visual information technologies with motions are also emerging as a hazard for motion sickness. The signs and symptoms of motion sickness can be categorised as mild, moderate or severe.

How It Affects Your Body

Repeated motions affect the signals sent to the brain from the inner ears, eyes, muscles, and joints.

When the brain detects conflicting signals, it results in the sensory receptors to translate the imbalance between what you see and what you feel. For instance, when you are reading while commuting in a car or bus, your eyes are focused on something that is stationary, but your inner ear senses motion. These confusing messages sent to the brain causes the body to feel unwell.

Initial signs and symptoms of motion sickness include nausea, cold sweat, dizziness, vomiting and headache.

Suggested Lifestyle Changes

Dietary Recommendations:

  1. Avoid eating greasy, spicy or acidic foods before travelling (e.g. burgers and citrus fruits) as it may trigger nausea.
  2. Avoid consuming alcohol as it makes the body dehydrated, resulting in an individual to be more prone to motion sickness.

Lifestyle Recommendations:

  1. Avoid air travel during the rainy season as there are higher chances of thunderstorms and turbulence, which will rock the plane and cause motion sickness.
  2. Passengers in a vehicle should look forward at a fixed point on the horizon, avoid close visual tasks (e.g. reading), actively steer, tilt their head into turns, rest with eyes closed, or stabilise head and body to prevent the symptoms of motion sickness.
  3. Choose optimal positions in vehicles to minimise motion, such as sitting at the front seat of a car, in the middle of a boat, or at the wing seat of an aeroplane.
  4. Reduce other sources of physical, emotional and mental discomfort to avoid triggering motion sickness.
  5. Prevent or treat gastric problems by eating small meals when travelling. Avoid travelling on an empty stomach as it may cause acid build-up and gastric pains.
  6. Ensure sufficient ventilation in vehicles or take stops during long journeys to get fresh air.
