  Motion sickness is a common and complex syndrome that occurs in response to the real or perceived motion. Its presentation can be diverse, including the gastrointestinal, central nervous system, and autonomic symptoms. There is considerable individual variability in motion sickness susceptibility, as some individuals may suffer from minimal provocation and in others, it may be very difficult to elicit symptoms. […] The role of the nurse in the management of motion sickness is crucial. […] Educate patient on motion sickness and prevention. […] Encourage patient to avoid spicy foods before travel. […] Educate patient on taking anti-motion sickness medications before the symptoms. […] Inform the patient that the condition is benign.

Fortunately, there are ways to prevent motion sickness or ease its symptoms. […] Some people get a kind of motion sickness while playing video games and virtual reality games (virtual motion sickness or VMS). Symptoms include nausea, breaking out in cold sweat or headache. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent motion sickness or ease its symptoms. […] You may not be able to make motion sickness symptoms go away, but the following tips may help you feel better: Get some fresh air: If you’re in a vehicle, roll your window down. If you’re in a plane, direct air vents to blow cool air in your direction. Redirect your gaze: If you’re reading, put your book, phone or tablet away and look at objects in the distance or the horizon. Lie back: If you can, move your seat so it leans back and close your eyes. Have a drink: Sipping ginger tea or ginger ale may settle your stomach. Try something sweet: Peppermint or ginger candies may make you feel better. Consider motion sickness glasses or bracelets: While there isn’t any published medical research showing special glasses or bracelets work, some people find the glasses and bracelets ease symptoms. Take a break: If you play video or virtual reality games, step away from the game if you feel nauseated or have other virtual motion sickness (VMS) symptoms.

  Any type of transportation can cause motion sickness. It can strike suddenly, progressing from a feeling of uneasiness to a cold sweat, dizziness and vomiting. It usually quiets down as soon as the motion stops. The more you travel, the more easily you’ll adjust to being in motion. […] If you’re susceptible to motion sickness: […] Take an antihistamine, which you can buy without a prescription. Medicines include dimenhydrinate (Dramamine, Driminate, others) and meclizine (Dramamine Less Drowsy, Travel-Ease, others). Dimenhydrinate is safe for children older than age 2. Take these medicines at least 30 to 60 minutes before you travel. Expect drowsiness as a side effect. […] Consider scopolamine, available in a prescription adhesive patch called Transderm Scop.

  Feeling unsteady or dizzy can be caused by many factors such as poor circulation, inner ear disease, medication usage, injury, infection, allergies, and/or neurological disease. Dizziness is treatable, but it is important for your doctor to help you determine the cause so that the correct treatment is implemented. […] Some experience dizziness in the form of motion sickness, a nauseating feeling brought on by the motion of riding in a car, in an airplane, a roller coaster, or a boat. […] The symptoms of motion sickness and dizziness appear when the central nervous system receives conflicting messages from the other four systems. […] If you are subject to motion sickness: Do not read while traveling. Avoid sitting in the rear seat. Do not sit in a seat facing backward. Do not watch or talk to another traveler who is having motion sickness. Avoid strong odors and spicy or greasy foods immediately before and during your travel. Talk to your doctor about medications.

• #25 Motion Sickness Treatment & Management: Approach Considerations, Consultations, Diet

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2060606-treatment

  Although pharmacological treatments for motion sickness are generally very effective, non-pharmacological treatments for prevention should be tried as well. Recognizing situations and motions that are likely to produce motion sickness is the most important factor to allow for prevention of symptoms. Minimizing the amount of conflicting vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive sensory information is the goal of the most of the non-pharmacologic treatments. […] Patients who slowly acclimatize to the motion stimuli generally have less severe symptoms. For example, if preparing for a sea voyage, patients should visit the vessel at dock as early as possible, and spend as much time inside a calm harbor before experiencing the open ocean. […] Selecting the most stable portion of the vessel is helpful. Patients should attempt to locate themselves near the centerline of the vessel and nearest to the ground or waterline. Conversely, locations below deck and high in the vessel often produce the most uncomfortable motion. Supporting the head to minimize additional head motion and to reduce neck strain helps reduce both vestibular and proprioceptive stimuli.

  Although pharmacological treatments for motion sickness are generally very effective, non-pharmacological treatments for prevention should be tried as well. Recognizing situations and motions that are likely to produce motion sickness is the most important factor to allow for prevention of symptoms. Minimizing the amount of conflicting vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive sensory information is the goal of the most of the non-pharmacologic treatments. […] Patients who slowly acclimatize to the motion stimuli generally have less severe symptoms. For example, if preparing for a sea voyage, patients should visit the vessel at dock as early as possible, and spend as much time inside a calm harbor before experiencing the open ocean. […] Selecting the most stable portion of the vessel is helpful. Patients should attempt to locate themselves near the centerline of the vessel and nearest to the ground or waterline. Conversely, locations below deck and high in the vessel often produce the most uncomfortable motion. Supporting the head to minimize additional head motion and to reduce neck strain helps reduce both vestibular and proprioceptive stimuli.
