Keep motion to a minimum. For
example, sit in the front of a car, over
the wing of a plane, on deck in the
middle of a boat.
Breathe fresh air if possible. For
example, open a car window.
Close your eyes and try to sleep.
Do not read or watch a film.
It is advisable not to stare at moving
objects such as waves or other cars.
Instead, look ahead, a little above the
horizon, at a fixed place.
Avoid heavy meals or alcohol before
and during travelling. It may also be
worth avoiding spicy or fatty food.
On long journeys, it may be worth
breaking the journey to have some
fresh air, drink some cold water and if
possible, take a short walk |

Thank God for this thread. This particular sickness have been my problem for years But I don't feel it when I drive even for long hours. Just being a passenger for a minute, my whole body system will turn upside now. Now, I prefer keke to taxi because of the fresh natural air. I avoid AC buses like hell especially buses with air freshener and I don't joke with the seat beside the window. 1 Like |

samhay:I get the same feeling too. My comfort zone is my room always. I think introverts gets the same feeling for me I also list appetite and I take mint to avoid throwing up. The best thing is always sit close to the window and try to get as much air as possible. |

samhay:Eat pineapple before any journey. Frequently travelling helps too. If you can't find pineapple, passion fruit. There is a med expert who once advised me to take a piriton about an hour before any journey. Its suspected to the something related to allergic reactions by the body. Am still testing that one. Sometimes it makes it worse esp when taken just before a journey, or when you have other medical issues. Tried and tested |

when I travel in a car about 2 hrs I always feel that way .....I also feel so uncomfortable... so what I do to remedy the situation is to buy enough sweet,chewing gum and anything eatable to keep myself busy throughout the journey |

[quote author=MrLouisVanGaal post=52007169] What is your problem? A question was asked if people experienced motion sickness and people who do and do not are responding and you are sounding as if what they did is not what was requested. Na una dey use ITK fail exam. You'll overwrite thinking you are Mr Wise and fail woefully. If you don't have any meaningful contribution to the thread why not fizzle out like a bad fart. Point of correction, bad farts don't fizzle out that easily. If you have no idea why I made that statement just keep mute and make the contribution u wanna make concerning the topic not spewing thrash all in the name of you want to make sense which you are far from. |

It affects a number of persons and i also happen to be one of them.....here in US we call it car sickness, But i found a remedy for it and i hope it's helps others as well ... If you're one of those who's affected by car sickness the next time you're traveling do look out the window, or stare down on your phone or anything just keep your eyes fixed straight up on the Horizon you're traveling to you will be fine.....trust me there is nothing wrong with you and all of us out there with car sickness/motion sickness you don't need to pill or drugs just keep your eyes fixed straight up on the journey! |

samhay:How old are you? I used to experience the same thing when I was younger but I've outgrown it. Back then the only remedy for motion sickness was fresh air and speed. It usually crept up on me when I'm in a go-slow. The stop-move-stop-move of the traffic would nearly drive me mad. My temperature rose, my head pounded, stomach ached and severe nausea would almost overcome me. Once the vehicle began moving steadily with some speed the symptoms disappeared in minutes. It doesn't affect me anymore. 3 Likes |

randella:it makes me sleep. Motion sickness is a terrible feeling. It has forced me to be an indoor person. But to reduce it, sit close to the window,do not use the air condition and try taking something minty like pectol or freegell . It works for me |

It's due to deficiencies in your body. Eat good food and a complete diet most often.... Not when you are about to travel.. Eat more protein, More vegetables and always lot of water... Stop starving yourself when you are hungry.. |

SaffronSpice: God bless you too, I must confess I was amazed to read from other pple that experienced it. I always thought I was d only 1 on Earth with dat feeling. Being an Introvert, I could not tell any1, if it happens to be a journey I must go, I start regretting even b4 d journey. There are a lot of places I wish I could explore, but each time I remember I av to sit in a car, I prefer my bed. The most painful part is even within the city, as long as it's more Dan 10-15min. I am in trouble. I pray we find solution from here 1 Like |

[quote author=farydah post=52013755][/quote]that is because when you are driving your eyes are fixed straight ahead on the road ,always keep your eyes fixed straight ahead on the road that's the cure, seize from looking out the window or something else like your phone look straight ahead |
Re: Do You Also Experience This? by Gemc3(f): 5:57pm On Dec 17, 2016 |
I experience it every time I travel far. Sometimes I don't even need to travel far. Once I start playing game on my phone or read in a moving vehicle, I become dizzy. When travelling a far distance, I take Avomine. Makes me sooo sleepy but the dizziness stops. |
