Understanding Motion Sickness & its Treatment
Motion sickness is common and normal. 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. It usually occurs when you’re travelling by car, boat, plane, or
train. Your body's sensory organs send mixed messages to your brain, causing
dizziness, light-headedness, or nausea. Some describe their balance problem
to ENT doctor in Jaipur by using the word vertigo. They often say that they or
their surroundings are turning or spinning. Vertigo can also be triggered by
problems in the inner ear.
Symptoms may include nausea, a vague
feeling of abdominal discomfort, dizziness, headache, and fatigue usually
develop. The face may become pale, and the person may be unable to concentrate,
may feel sleepy, or may break into a cold sweat. Vomiting often occurs. Other
symptoms may include increased saliva production, swallowing excessive air, and
abnormally rapid, deep breathing Hyperventilation may cause faintness. Nausea
and vomiting make the person feel weak. Prolonged vomiting can lead to low
blood pressure and dehydration. However, symptoms tend to gradually subside
when the motion stops or the person leaves the vehicle. Also, people who are on
long trips, as on a ship, usually adapt to the motion and gradually recover. There
are several medications available for motion sickness treatment. These
medications are available in various forms, including oral tablets, rectal
suppositories, and transdermal patches. Non-medicinal ways to reduce motion
sickness include sitting where there is the least motion. If you are facing
similar issues, these are all treated by ENT doctors and speech therapist in
