Motion Sickness - Prevent It and Enjoy Your Travel with Scopace
Description
Motion sickness can occur when the sensory inputs about body position contradict what is expected. It can be provoked by abrupt changes in movement, such as occur during bumpy rides, turbulent flights, and rough seas. It can also occur when one is exposed to moving visual scenes while the body is in a relatively fixed state.
Early signs of motion sickness include pallor, restlessness, and cold sweat. In later stages, nausea, excessive salivating, and vomiting occur.(1) The degree of symptoms that result from an acute exposure to provocative stimuli vary with the intensity of the stimulus and one's susceptibility to this condition.
About one third of the population is highly susceptible to motion sickness, a third experience it in fairly rough conditions, and another third become sick only in extreme conditions.(1) Selected groups seem particularly susceptible, including children aged 3 to 12 years (2), people who experience migraine headaches (3), and women, particularly during menstruation and pregnancy.(3, 4)
