Motion sickness, sometimes referred to as sea sickness, travel sickness or car sickness, is a very common disturbance of the inner ear that is caused by repeated motion such as from the swell of the sea, movement of a car, or the motion of turbulent air on a plane. The symptoms of motion sickness are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sweating, and a sense of feeling unwell. These symptoms arise from the inner ear (labyrinth) due to changes in one’s sense of balance and equilibrium. Stugeron travel sickness tablets can be used to alleviate these symptoms.
Motion sickness is caused by repeated movements when travelling, like going over bumps in a car or moving up and down in a boat. Often reading, watching a film or sitting with your head down while travelling can all cause you to feel unwell. The inner ear sends different signals to your brain from those your eyes are seeing. These confusing messages could cause you to feel unwell.
