How Can Motion Sickness Symptoms Like Headache And Dizziness Be Avoided While Traveling By Road?
What can I do to prevent motion sickness in a car? It s just the headache, and dizziness. I ve been told that I shouldn t have when I m the front seat, but I still get it. I ve only experienced motion sickness in a car. I ve been on plenty of plane. I would like to know how I can avoid this cause I don t want to have motion sickness when I start driving.
Hi Thanks for posting your query on HCM I have read and understood your concern Motion sickness affects many people.Sitting on the front passenger seat in a car may help reduce severity of symptoms but it does not work with everybody.The following tips may help you control symptoms: -Focus on the horizon or on a distant, stationary object -Keep your head still, while resting against a seat back -Don't smoke or sit near smokers -Avoid spicy and greasy foods and alcohol. -take an over-the-counter antihistamine like curtec -Eat dry crackers or drink a carbonated beverage to help settle your stomach if you become ill. Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns Best regards
