Any type of transportation can cause motion sickness. It can strike suddenly, progressing from a feeling of uneasiness to a cold sweat, dizziness and then vomiting. Motion sickness may quiet down as soon as the motion stops. The more you travel, the more easily you'll adjust to being in motion.

It has to do with the balance of the inner ear. If you experience it take a non drowzy form of motion sickness pill. there are some great ones out there that really work.

Motion sickness or kinetosis is a condition in which a disagreement exists between visually perceived movement and the inner ear's sense of movement. Depending on the cause it can also be referred to as seasickness, carsickness, simulation sickness, airsickness, or space sickness.

it's a general term referring to car sickness, sea sickness, train sickness, plane sickness - actually anything related to motion... you could google it for a good definition... there are different types of motion sickness a person could experience... children usually suffer from car sickness (generally due to a winding road), adults usually suffer from plane sickness... u can be motion-sick in a swing, rollercoaster ride, or when you're just walking down the aisles of a supermarket...

Some people get sick to their stomach while riding in a car or a plane. Especially if they sit in the back seat. I used to as a child all the time. Yuck!

Your brain senses movement by getting signals from your inner ears, eyes, muscles and joints. When it gets signals that do not match, you can get motion sickness.

You get a nauseating feeling in your stomach - then you feel dizzy and want to up-chuck. Usually what takes this away for me is Saltine Crackers, Sunflower seeds and water (not soda - too much sugar) - the salt in these products helps you get your equilibrium back in sync.

Dizziness provoked by movement, such as when your'e in a boat or reading in a moving car. I guess in shifts the liquids that are in your ears and creates an imbalance that makes you feel dizzy.

It's a sickness caused by your mind.
