Motion sickness and seasickness are very common phenomena. There are organic reasons as well as functional and psychological reasons. The incidence rate among boys is higher than that among girls. In adults, it is more common among females. .
We are usually accustomed to walking on the ground, but are not accustomed to relatively unfamiliar sports stimuli, such as the up and down bumps and vacillations of traveling in cars, boats, and airplanes. Some healthy people without organic diseases or functional disorders may experience motion sickness, seasickness, and airsickness such as dizziness, pale complexion, nausea and vomiting after being stimulated by the above-mentioned strong movements in different directions and speeds. This is a very normal physiological reaction, and the symptoms will disappear naturally as long as people are away from the stimulating environment.
The symptoms of motion sickness often develop gradually, from stomach discomfort to nausea, cold sweats, and finally vomiting. Motion sickness is preventable. Although everyone's constitution and sensitivity are different, and some people are particularly sensitive, there are still ways to help those who are prone to motion sickness avoid motion sickness.
(1) Strengthen physical exercise and enhance vestibular organ tolerance. Motion sickness mostly occurs in people with sensitive vestibular organs. Therefore, you should pay more attention to physical exercise and do more movements such as turning your head, bending and squatting, etc., to increase the tolerance of the vestibular organ.
(2) Overeating, fatigue, lack of sleep, dirty air, emotional stress, and special smells such as gasoline and oil smoke may contribute to the occurrence and worsening of symptoms of motion sickness, so these adverse factors should be avoided .
(3)Special vestibular training. Motion sickness can be prevented through rehabilitation training, such as repeated boating and car riding training to improve the vestibular organ's ability to adapt to irregular movements. In addition, people who are afraid of motion sickness can often participate in some activities, especially sports that help adjust the position and balance of the human body, such as swings, slides, single and parallel bars, mat tumbling and other sports, which can improve the adaptability of the vestibular organs.
(4) When riding in a car or boat, head movement should be limited as much as possible. The head can be fixed against a back chair to reduce acceleration stimulation, especially rotational stimulation. If possible, lie flat on your back.
(5) Avoid bad visual stimulation. Avoid looking out the window when riding in a car. Reading while riding in a car or boat is more likely to induce motion sickness. Therefore, closing your eyes and relaxing can reduce the occurrence of motion sickness.
You can take Yihanning lozenges before riding to prevent motion sickness. Anticholinergic drugs have an inhibitory effect on the cerebral cortex and can prevent dizziness and vomiting.
Exercise can cure motion sickness and seasickness
Most people can adapt well to traveling by car or boat. But for some people who suffer from motion sickness, it is a chore. Whenever these people take a car or boat, they may feel dizzy, nauseated, depressed and uncomfortable, or in severe cases, dizzy, queasy, and miserable.
Motion sickness is a collective term for motion sickness, seasickness, airsickness and diseases caused by factors such as rocking, bumping, rotation, acceleration and other factors. People who are susceptible to motion sickness
The vestibular organ, the balance organ of the inner ear, has poor adaptability to irregular changes in body position such as rotation. Of course, there are other triggering factors for motion sickness, such as high temperature, high humidity, poor ventilation, noise, bad smell, emotional stress, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, hunger or overeating, physical weakness, etc.
Medical experts point out that motion sickness can be treated with exercise. Patients can usually consciously do exercises that involve swinging and rotation. For example, they can gradually do some exercises that lower their heads and bend over, shake their heads, and squat and stand up repeatedly. After they gradually adapt, they can do some exercises with larger rotations, such as Use the swivel chair to slowly rotate your body left and right alternately. Through gradual exercise, the adaptability of the vestibular organ of the inner ear to irregular movements can be enhanced, and motion sickness can be gradually reduced or even overcome.
