Air Sickness - Travel Sickness
Travel sickness is generally caused by the repetitive movement and motion that affects the vestibular (inner ear) balance mechanism. The turbulence and motion of the plane causes the body, inner ear, and eyes all to send conflicting messages to the brain. This mismatch of information is what begins the motion sickness process and its accompanying symptoms.
Symptoms:
The first signs are usually pallor, yawning, restlessness, and a cold sweat that forms on the upper lip and forehead. As the symptoms increase, upset stomach, dizziness, fatigue, and drowsiness may occur. In the final stage, if the stimulus from the movement is uninterrupted, nausea and vomiting are likely to result.
Even anticipating an airplane flight, take-off, or flight movement can cause anxiety and the symptoms of motion-air sickness. For example, a person with a previous experience of motion sickness may become queasy or nauseous on an airplane before take-off.
