WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Motion sickness is a common condition characterized by a feeling of nausea and discomfort that occurs when there's a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. It happens to people when they are on a boat, in a car, on a carnival ride, or in some other situation in which something is moving them. Motion sickness is often triggered by repeated movements like swaying, rocking, or rapid acceleration and deceleration. Migraine sufferers have a heightened vulnerability to motion sickness. Prevention strategies may involve selecting seats with the least movement, focusing on the horizon, avoiding reading or screen time during travel, and medications.
