Who gets it
Motion sickness is common in people traveling by car, train, plane and especially boat. Anyone can get it, but it's more common in children, pregnant women and people taking certain medicines.
How it feels
It can start suddenly, with a queasy feeling and cold sweats, then lead to dizziness and nausea and vomiting.
Why it happens
Your brain senses movement through signals from your inner ears, eyes, muscles and joints. When those signals don't match, you can get sick. Reading your phone on a bus, for example, your eyes see something still while your inner ear feels motion.
What helps
- Sit where the ride is smoothest: the front seat of a car, the forward cars of a train, the upper deck of a boat, or a seat over the wing of a plane.
- Look into the distance instead of reading or looking at something inside the vehicle.
