Motion sickness occurs when the inner ear and the eyes send conflicting signals to the brain which can cause headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, cold sweat, and vomiting. Motion sickness affects your sense of balance and equilibrium. It is even possible to get motion sickness when you are not moving but watching something else that is.

There are over-the-counter medications that can be purchased for treating motion sickness. There is also a medicated skin patch that can be used before taking a trip to prevent motion sickness.Prevention
