A condition that causes nausea, dizziness, and fatigue during travel due to conflicting signals between your eyes and inner ear.
- Antihistamines: They help reduce inner ear stimulation and symptoms like nausea and dizziness (e.g., meclizine, dimenhydrinate).
- Scopolamine Patches: These are worn behind the ear to prevent nausea and vomiting by blocking nerve signals.
- Ginger: Natural anti-nausea remedy that can calm the stomach during travel.
- Acupressure Wristbands: Apply pressure to a specific point (P6) on the wrist to help reduce queasiness.
- Behavioral Tips: Facing forward, avoiding reading, and getting fresh air can help reduce triggers.
- Mismatch between inner ear signals and visual cues (e.g. reading in a moving car)
- Sensitivity in the vestibular system
- Certain medications or strong smells
- Anxiety or pre-existing migraine disorder
