Choroba lokomocyjna
Objawy

Choroba lokomocyjna (kinetoza) to zespół objawów wywołanych rzeczywistym lub postrzeganym ruchem, charakteryzujący się głównie nudnościami pojawiającymi się przy spoczynku ciała w ruchomym pojeździe. Początkowo manifestuje się subtelnymi symptomami, takimi jak dyskomfort w nadbrzuszu („świadomość żołądka”), ogólne złe samopoczucie, bladość, zwiększona produkcja śliny, ziewanie, uczucie ciepła i drażliwość. W miarę progresji choroby pojawiają się klasyczne objawy: nudności, wymioty, zawroty głowy, zimne poty, ból głowy, przyspieszony oddech (hiperwentylacja), zmęczenie i utrata apetytu. W ciężkich przypadkach mogą wystąpić niezdolność do chodzenia, niepowstrzymane odruchy wymiotne, niestabilność postawy oraz powikłania takie jak odwodnienie, zaburzenia elektrolitowe i hipotensja. Zespół sopite, objawiający się głęboką sennością, apatią i zmianami osobowości, może utrzymywać się nawet po ustąpieniu innych symptomów. Rzadkim, ale poważnym powikłaniem jest Mal de Debarquement, gdzie uczucie kołysania utrzymuje się długo po zakończeniu podróży.

Objawy choroby lokomocyjnej

Choroba lokomocyjna (kinetoza) jest częstym zespołem objawów, który występuje w odpowiedzi na rzeczywisty lub postrzegany ruch. Prezentacja kliniczna może być różnorodna i może obejmować objawy ze strony układu pokarmowego, ośrodkowego układu nerwowego oraz układu autonomicznego.12 Głównym objawem choroby lokomocyjnej jest zwykle nudność, która pojawia się, gdy ciało pozostaje w spoczynku, ale pojazd, w którym się znajduje, jest w ruchu.34

Objawy wczesne

Początek choroby lokomocyjnej jest zwykle stopniowy, a czas wystąpienia objawów zależy od intensywności bodźca i indywidualnej podatności.1 Wczesne symptomy mogą obejmować:

Ważnym aspektem jest to, że nudności, które są kluczowym objawem choroby lokomocyjnej, są prawie zawsze poprzedzone przez inne subtelne objawy, takie jak opisana powyżej „świadomość żołądka”, złe samopoczucie, senność czy drażliwość. Nierozpoznanie tych wczesnych objawów może prowadzić do opóźnienia diagnozy i leczenia.1

Objawy pełno-objawowe

Gdy choroba lokomocyjna postępuje, mogą pojawić się bardziej nasilone objawy, które obejmują:123

  • Nudności i wymioty – podstawowe objawy choroby lokomocyjnej, które mogą być dość silne12
  • Zawroty głowy – uczucie niestabilności i wirowania1
  • Zimne poty – charakterystyczne pokrywanie się cienką warstwą potu12
  • Ból głowy – często towarzyszy innym objawom1
  • Uczucie zmęczenia i osłabienia12
  • Przyspieszony oddech (hiperwentylacja) – może prowadzić do uczucia omdlenia12
  • Utrata apetytu1
  • Nadmierna produkcja śliny1

W przypadku nasilonych objawów choroby lokomocyjnej, wymioty mogą przynieść chwilową ulgę, jednak symptomy zwykle powracają, jeśli ekspozycja na ruch jest kontynuowana. Może to prowadzić do cyklicznego występowania nudności i wymiotów z naprzemiennymi okresami nasilenia i złagodzenia objawów.12

Objawy ciężkie

W rzadszych, cięższych przypadkach mogą wystąpić:1

  • Niezdolność do chodzenia1
  • Niepowstrzymane odruchy wymiotne (nawet gdy żołądek jest już pusty)1
  • Niestabilność postawy1
  • Izolacja społeczna spowodowana ciężkim przebiegiem choroby1

Przedłużające się wymioty mogą prowadzić do poważnych komplikacji, takich jak odwodnienie, zaburzenia elektrolitowe i hipotensja/” title=”hipotensja” class=”to-tag” data-termid=”18292″>obniżone ciśnienie krwi (hipotensja).123 W ekstremalnych przypadkach mogą wystąpić nawet rozdarcia przełyku z powodu intensywnych wymiotów.1

Zespół sopite – niedoceniany aspekt choroby lokomocyjnej

Jednym z aspektów choroby lokomocyjnej, który często jest niezauważany, jest zespół sopite. Odnosi się on do głębokiej senności i utrzymującego się zmęczenia, które mogą wystąpić po krótkotrwałej ekspozycji na silne bodźce prowokujące lub po długotrwałej ekspozycji na bodźce ruchowe o niskiej intensywności.12

Charakterystyczne cechy zespołu sopite obejmują:12

  • Uczucie znużenia i senności1
  • Apatię1
  • Brak inicjatywy1
  • Zwiększoną drażliwość1
  • Zmiany osobowości1

Co istotne, zespół sopite może utrzymywać się przez wiele godzin lub nawet dni po zakończeniu ekspozycji na bodźce ruchowe.12 Co więcej, może być jedynym objawem, który utrzymuje się, gdy nudności nie występują lub ustąpiły.1

Progresja i czas trwania objawów

Choroba lokomocyjna może rozwijać się powoli lub pojawić się nagle.1 Charakterystyczny jest stopniowy rozwój objawów, przy czym sekwencja może być następująca:12

  1. Początkowa „świadomość żołądka” i uczucie dyskomfortu1
  2. Złe samopoczucie i uczucie ciepła1
  3. Bladość, poty, zmiany rytmu oddechowego1
  4. Nasilenie nudności prowadzące do wymiotów1

Tempo rozwoju choroby lokomocyjnej zależy od intensywności bodźca. Nudności prowadzące do wymiotów mogą rozwinąć się w ciągu kilku minut, jeśli bodziec ruchowy jest intensywny. Natomiast przy umiarkowanie prowokującym ruchu, początek nudności jest opóźniony, a wymioty mogą nie wystąpić wcale.1

Czas trwania objawów

W większości przypadków objawy choroby lokomocyjnej ustępują po zakończeniu ruchu:12

  • Dla większości osób objawy ustępują całkowicie w ciągu 24 godzin po ustaniu bodźca ruchowego1
  • Wszystkie objawy choroby lokomocyjnej zwykle znikają w ciągu 4 godzin po zatrzymaniu ruchu12
  • W niektórych przypadkach objawy mogą utrzymywać się przez wiele godzin lub nawet do 3 dni po podróży12

Istnieje jednak znaczna zmienność między pacjentami w zakresie ustępowania objawów. Niektóre osoby po otrzymaniu prowokującego bodźca ruchowego wykazują bardzo krótką odpowiedź, podczas gdy u innych dyskomfort może utrzymywać się przez dłuższy czas.1

Adaptacja i habituacja

Jeśli ruch jest długotrwały, jak podczas długiej podróży morskiej, większość osób rozwija pewną habituację i staje się mniej podatna na chorobę lokomocyjną.12 Podobnie, częste krótkie ekspozycje na prowokujący ruch prowadzą do ochronnej habituacji, chociaż zdolność do adaptacji jest znacznie zróżnicowana między poszczególnymi osobami.1

Przy rzadkich ekspozycjach ochronna wartość doświadczeń habituacyjnych zanika, a pacjent wraca do bazowego poziomu podatności.1 Osoby, które często podróżują, mogą zauważyć poprawę w wyniku powtarzających się ekspozycji na ten sam rodzaj doświadczenia.1

Choroba lokomocyjna u dzieci

Choroba lokomocyjna jest szczególnie powszechna u dzieci, przy czym prawie połowa dzieci doświadcza jej na pewnym etapie.1 Dzieci w wieku 10-12 lat są najbardziej narażone na wystąpienie choroby lokomocyjnej.1

Objawy choroby lokomocyjnej mogą różnić się w zależności od wieku dziecka:12

  • Przed 6. rokiem życia głównym objawem są zawroty głowy i potrzeba położenia się1
  • Po 12. roku życia głównym objawem jest nudność (uczucie mdłości)1

Warto zauważyć, że objawy choroby lokomocyjnej są często gorsze u dzieci niż u dorosłych.1 Dzieci poniżej 2. roku życia rzadko wykazują objawy choroby lokomocyjnej, co sugeruje pewną odporność w tej grupie wiekowej.12

Małe dzieci mogą nie być w stanie opisać, jak się czują. Dlatego jeśli młodsze dziecko traci kolor twarzy lub wydaje się przestraszone, zaniepokojone lub letargiczne podczas podróży, może to wskazywać na chorobę lokomocyjną.1

Choroba lokomocyjna w szczególnych sytuacjach

Choroba lokomocyjna w wirtualnej rzeczywistości

Niektóre osoby doświadczają choroby lokomocyjnej podczas grania w gry wideo i gry wirtualnej rzeczywistości, co określa się jako chorobę lokomocyjną wywołaną wirtualnie (VMS – Virtual Motion Sickness).1 W porównaniu z doświadczeniami w rzeczywistym świecie, częstość występowania objawów takich jak zmęczenie oczu i ból głowy jest większa w systemach wirtualnej rzeczywistości i symulatorach.1

Wprowadzenie wyświetlaczy nagłownych i smartfonów z zaawansowaną grafiką do tworzenia wirtualnych środowisk doprowadziło do znacznego wzrostu choroby lokomocyjnej wywoływanej wizualnie, w tym nudności i wymiotów.1

Zespół Mal de Debarquement

Mal de Debarquement (choroba wysiadkowa) to cięższa i rzadsza forma choroby lokomocyjnej. Stan ten jest wywołany podróżą, zwykle morską lub powietrzną.1

Charakterystyczne dla tego zespołu jest to, że objawy utrzymują się długo po zakończeniu podróży. Osoby z tym objawem po zakończeniu podróży czują się tak, jakby się kołysały, huśtały lub poruszały, nawet gdy tak nie jest.12 W ekstremalnych przypadkach osoby mogą rozwinąć Mal de Debarquement (MdDS), który może trwać tygodnie, miesiące, a nawet lata.1

Czynniki wpływające na chorobę lokomocyjną

Indywidualna podatność

Podatność na chorobę lokomocyjną jest bardzo zmienna – około jednej trzeciej populacji jest podatna, podczas gdy inne osoby mogą być dotknięte tylko w ekstremalnych warunkach.1 Zakres wrażliwości w ogólnej populacji różni się około 10 000-krotnie, co stanowi ogromny zakres.1

Czynniki zwiększające podatność na chorobę lokomocyjną obejmują:12

  • Płeć – kobiety częściej doświadczają choroby lokomocyjnej niż mężczyźni12
  • Wiek – dzieci między 3 a 12 rokiem życia mogą mieć najwyższą częstość występowania, a osoby starsze wydają się mieć zmniejszoną podatność1
  • Ciąża – kobiety w ciąży, zwłaszcza te z poranną nudnością, są bardziej narażone na chorobę lokomocyjną1
  • Deprywacja snu – badania wykazały, że deprywacja snu zwiększa podatność na chorobę lokomocyjną i wpływa na wydajność wielu zadań1
  • Lęk – osoby, które odczuwają lęk przed podróżą, często mają nasilone objawy choroby lokomocyjnej12

Choroba lokomocyjna ma również tendencję do skupiania się w rodzinach. Osoby, które mają krewnego pierwszego stopnia (na przykład rodzica lub rodzeństwo) o wysokiej podatności na chorobę lokomocyjną, są bardziej narażone na jej wystąpienie niż ogół społeczeństwa.1

Kiedy skontaktować się z lekarzem

Większość przypadków choroby lokomocyjnej to łagodne i samoograniczające się zaburzenia. Jednak ciężkie przypadki i te, które stają się stopniowo gorsze, zasługują na uwagę lekarza ze specjalistycznymi umiejętnościami w zakresie chorób ucha, nosa, gardła, równowagi i układów neurologicznych.12

Należy skonsultować się z lekarzem, jeśli:12

  • Objawy nie ustępują w ciągu 24 godzin lub pogarszają się1
  • Nudności lub wymioty utrzymują się nawet po opuszczeniu pojazdu w ruchu1
  • Objawy choroby lokomocyjnej występują nawet wtedy, gdy nie znajdujesz się w poruszającym się pojeździe1
  • Dziecko wymiotuje dużo podczas podróży1
  • Występują jakiekolwiek z następujących objawów: wysoka gorączka, silny ból głowy, drgawki, ciągłe wymioty, ból w klatce piersiowej, kołatanie serca, duszność, niemożność poruszania ręką lub nogą, zmiana widzenia lub mowy, lub utrata słuchu1

    Motion sickness is a common and complex syndrome that occurs in response to either real or perceived motion. Its presentation can be diverse and may include gastrointestinal, central nervous system, and autonomic symptoms. The main symptom of motion sickness is typically nausea. […] Motion sickness symptoms were first described by Hippocrates, who wrote, sailing on the sea proves that motion disorders the body. The main symptom of motion sickness, nausea, is derived from naus, the Greek word for ship (e.g., nautical). […] The symptoms of motion sickness can be diverse, ranging from the most common, nausea and vomiting, too cold sweating, pallor, headache, drowsiness, yawning, loss of appetite and increased salivation. […] Typically, an inciting event or exposure to an unfamiliar motion precedes symptoms of motion sickness. The constellation of symptoms known as sopite syndrome refers to profound drowsiness and fatigue that can persist for hours to days following exposure.

    The primary symptoms of motion sickness are nausea and vomiting. Related symptoms include drowsiness (sometimes termed „sopite syndrome”), gastrointestinal discomfort, increased salivation, sensations of bodily warmth, dizziness, and facial pallor and sweating (so-called cold sweating). The onset of motion sickness is usually gradual, the timescale being determined by the intensity of the stimulus and the susceptibility of the individual. Patterns of symptoms vary but usually progress from initial symptoms, such as stomach awareness, feelings of warmth, yawning, sweating, dizziness, through to nausea and ultimately to vomiting. […] Compared to real-world experiences, the occurrence of symptoms such as eyestrain and headache is higher in virtual reality systems and simulators.

    Motion sickness, or kinetosis, affects some individuals when they are subjected to motion or movement. This can occur when they are travelling by air, road or on water. […] Symptoms of motion sickness include discomfort in the upper abdomen, nausea and so forth. […] The symptom starts with a discomfort in the upper abdomen. This is usually a queasy feeling that may be unpleasant or may feel like fluttering within the abdomen. This is called stomach awareness. […] Feelings of nausea. The mismatch between visual signals and those from the inner ear lead to stimulation of the vomiting center of the brain. This leads to feeling nauseous. […] As the condition progresses the symptoms worse. This leads to a cold sweat. Patient is usually covered with a thin layer of sweat all over his or her body.

    Motion sickness is a common syndrome that occurs upon exposure to certain types of motion. It is thought to be caused by conflict between the vestibular, visual, and other proprioceptive systems. Although nausea is the hallmark symptom, it is often preceded by stomach awareness, malaise, drowsiness, and irritability. […] Motion sickness is a syndrome that occurs when a patient is exposed to certain types of motion and usually resolves soon after its cessation. It is a common response to motion stimuli during travel. Although nausea is a hallmark symptom, the syndrome includes symptoms ranging from vague malaise to completely incapacitating illness. These symptoms, which can affect the patient’s recreation, employment, and personal safety, can occur within minutes of experiencing motion and can last for several hours after its cessation.

    Motion sickness is a common condition that happens when youre in motion, like riding in a vehicle, while sitting still. Symptoms include nausea, breaking out in cold sweat or headache. […] 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. […] Common motion sickness symptoms are nausea and vomiting, salivating a lot, fatigue, rapid breathing and sweating. Riding in a vehicle or on a boat may cause motion sickness symptoms like nausea and vomiting, fatigue and rapid breathing. […] Motion sickness symptoms can develop slowly or appear all at once. Common symptoms include: Dizziness. Fatigue. Headache. Feeling irritable. Nausea and vomiting. Rapid breathing or feeling like you need to take gulps of air. Salivating more than usual. Sweating, particularly a cold sweat.

    https://www.medlink.com/articles/motion-sickness
    Motion sickness can produce uncomfortable or unpleasant and sometimes incapacitating manifestations, but the most common include pallor, cold sweating (diaphoresis), anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. […] The earliest symptom is typically epigastric discomfort (stomach awareness), followed by malaise and a feeling of warmth, often coincident with the onset of nausea. The development of pallor, diaphoresis, and changes in respiratory rhythm herald the onset of vomiting, which generally produces some temporary symptomatic improvement. […] In some cases that do not reach the threshold of vomiting, manifestations may be limited to fatigue and drowsiness, ie, the sopite syndrome. […] The most characteristic symptoms of motion sickness are pallor, nausea, and vomiting, with vomiting taking prominence in many studies (especially early drug trials) as an essential feature because it is unambiguous, as is the time from onset of provocative motion to onset of vomiting.

    Although nausea may be the first recognized symptom of motion sickness, it is almost always preceded by other subtle symptoms such as stomach awareness (i.e., a sensation of fullness in the epigastrium), malaise, drowsiness, and irritability. Failure to attribute early symptoms to motion sickness may lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Although mild symptoms are common, severely debilitating symptoms are rare.

    Motion sickness (also known as car, sea, train, or air sickness) involves a group of symptoms, particularly nausea, caused by movement during travel. […] While traveling, people with motion sickness feel nauseated and dizzy and may break into a cold sweat and start hyperventilating. […] Symptoms of motion sickness may begin relatively suddenly. Typical symptoms are nausea, vomiting, and a vague feeling of abdominal discomfort. Also, the face may become pale, and the person may break into a cold sweat. Dizziness, headache, and fatigue may develop, and the person may feel sleepy or be unable to concentrate. Other symptoms (often as a prelude to vomiting) may include increased saliva production, swallowing excessive air (aerophagia), and abnormally rapid, deep breathing (hyperventilation). Hyperventilation may cause faintness.

    Less commonly, severe symptoms may occur. These include the inability to walk, incapacitation, postural instability, intractable retching, and social isolation. The failure to diagnose the early and more mild symptoms of motion sickness may delay treatment. […] Individuals with a history of motion sickness will have a high likelihood of recurrence in the presence of a provocative stimulus unless able to achieve habituation. […] The majority of individuals with motion sickness have mild to moderate symptoms that are self-limited. Once the triggering motion ceases, symptoms often resolve entirely within 24 hours.

    In general, motion sickness doesnt cause serious health issues. In some cases, however, people continue to feel nauseous and vomit even though theyre not doing things like riding in vehicles. Excessive vomiting can cause dehydration and low blood pressure (hypotension). […] 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 youre in a vehicle, roll your window down. If youre in a plane, direct air vents to blow cool air in your direction. Redirect your gaze: If youre 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 isnt 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.

However, motion sickness comprises a much broader syndrome. […] One facet of motion sickness that often is not recognized is the sopite syndrome. It refers to the profound drowsiness and persistent fatigue that can follow brief exposures to highly provocative stimulation or prolonged exposures to low-intensity motion stimulation. […] The sopite syndrome can persist for hours or even days and when exposure is prolonged even longer. It is characterized by boredom, apathy, failure of initiative, increased irritability, and even changes in personality. It may be one of the only syndromes that persist when nausea is not elicited or has abated.
  • #1 Motion sickness – Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment | BMJ Best Practice
    https://bestpractice.bmj.com/topics/en-gb/1034
    Motion sickness is a common condition provoked by physical motion or visual motion. Characterised by nausea/vomiting, possibly accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, or headache. Motion sickness is characterised by stomach discomfort, nausea, and vomiting, accompanied by dizziness, vertigo, or autonomic features such as pallor, clamminess, flushing, or sweating. These symptoms could also be associated with drowsiness, fatigue, or difficulty with concentration, which may be categorised as alteration in arousal. The intensity of symptoms in response to physical or visual motion stimuli can vary greatly depending on age, level of adaptation, or other medical conditions. Once a certain level of nausea is attained, it may lead to vomiting even if the patient is removed from the motion environment (avalanche phenomenon). The rate at which motion sickness develops varies with the intensity of motion. Nausea leading to vomiting may develop within a few minutes if the provocative motion stimulus is intense, whereas with moderately provocative motion the onset of nausea is delayed, and vomiting may not necessarily occur. If motion is sustained, as on a long sea voyage, most people develop some habituation and become less susceptible to motion sickness. Similarly, frequent short exposures to provocative motion lead to a protective habituation, although the ability to adapt is marked by substantial individual differences. With infrequent exposures the protective value of habituating experiences is lost, and the patient returns to baseline levels of susceptibility.
