Is There Anyone Who Can Relate To Having These Conditions? by Nobody: 3:19pm On Sep 01, 2023
1. Car sickness... If I'm traveling long distances, especially in the morning, I get sick... I start sweating, having short breath, getting nauseous and eventually throwing up... Same thing happens when I perceive the smell of cigarettes/weed.

Last time I threw up due to traveling long distances was this past Saturday, I had no choice because some things just had to be done in the morning, especially on weekends... As I was driving, I felt my condition getting worse but I had to keep driving because already I was running late... It was only when I felt that I couldn't keep up anymore that I parked on the roadside and threw up... I stayed outside the car for a while for some fresh air.

When I reached my destination, I started feeling better and the nausea started to suppress, only for this old man who smelled a cigarette/weed to come my way, I tolerated the smell hoping that he'll leave, but he just kept talking non-stop... The smell triggered the nausea again and before I knew it, I threw up for the second time... But fortunately, I had a sickness bag inside my hand bag because I always prepare myself for such situations whenever I'm traveling long distances.

It's like it runs within the family because I'm told that my maternal grandmother used to have the same condition, my aunt and sister are also experiencing the same thing... We have car sickness.

2. Nosebleeding... Like car sickness, this is something I've struggled with since I was a child... I could be playing, eating, sleeping, or just sitting back and doing nothing and my nose would just start bleeding... It used to be more frequent when I was a child, but as I got older it decreased to a point that I can now go a very long time without nose bleeding... But now some of my sisters' kids are experiencing the same problem.

Just last night I was talking to my 8 years old nephew over a video call when I noticed something coming out of his nose and it was blood... The boy wasn't even sick.

I've never met anyone outside of my family who can relate to having these two conditions... So I'm just curious to know if there's anyone who can relate in here.

The first one is quite common. At least to me. It is worse if I have to deal with AC mixed with fuel smell or those terrible air freshners. Many times I have pleaded with Uber drivers to put off the AC and take the glasses down lest I vomit my intestines. Strangely it doesn't happen when I am driving. Only when I am a passenger. There is a drug that was recommended for me, but I can't remember the name now.

What works for me is not to take any meal before a road trip. I don't eat in transit too. I will take water only.

I dread long road trips.

I am a customer to the first, motion sickness 😷 gosh. When i was much younger, i dreaded travelling especially long distance ones. My nausea starts right from the moment i leave my house on my way to the park. I dare not eat 2hrs before departure else i vomit on transit or i keep spitting. The polluted smoke carbon monoxide from vehicles adds to the situation. I try to hold my breath till the atmosphere is clear of the smoke. As i am older now it's better, but i still don't eat real meal before or during the trip just light snacks.

Motion sickness.
It happens when the body, the inner ear, and the eyes send conflicting signals to the brain which means they are not balanced.

I also don't take anything when I'm traveling long distances, water included because I hate using public toilets.

Imagine taking medication for car sickness, the same car that you're supposed to enjoy... This life can be unfair sometimes.

I used to experience number 1 during my schooling days.

Whenever I'm traveling back to school (in the SE) from Lagos, if I enter a bus and sit at the last role (at the back) and the bus begins to bounce on potholes, I'll start becoming very dizzy and uncomfortable. And sometimes I might even through up.

When I discovered this, I started sitting at the front seat with the driver and I stopped experiencing it.

Same here, but for me it gets worse when we are stuck in traffic. That jerking (move and stop) movement makes me want to puke.
What's most unfortunate for me is that this only happens when I'm in a car or any cosy vehicle. It never happens when I'm inside a worn out bus or keke

i can relate to the car sickness....
but mine is a bit different.

i would be fine in a moving vehicle, but the moment i open any book to read, press my phone or just do any thing that requires any concentration at all, i immediately develop an instant headache (very severe headache o).

i really envy pple that can press their phones/read on transit....
