First of all, motion sickness is a kind of disease that occurs when cars, ships or airplanes are moving with any form of acceleration, such as bumping, rocking or rotating, which stimulates the vestibular nerve of the human body. At the beginning, the patient felt discomfort in the upper abdomen, followed by nausea, pale complexion, cold sweat, dizziness, depression, increased saliva secretion and vomiting. Due to different means of transport, they can be called motion sickness, seasickness, airsickness (aviation motion sickness) and space motion sickness respectively.

Secondly, the disease often occurs after several minutes to several hours of travel, navigation, flight and other operations. At the beginning, I felt discomfort in the upper abdomen, then nausea, pale complexion, cold sweat, dizziness, depression, increased saliva secretion and vomiting. Severe cases may have blood pressure drop, deep and slow breathing, nystagmus. Severe vomiting causes fluid loss and electrolyte disturbance. The symptoms usually disappear or relieve within a few minutes and hours after stopping or decelerating. After repeated onset, symptoms can be alleviated, or even do not occur.

Finally, carsickness is not hereditary. Carsickness is due to poor vestibular function, which is not related to heredity. If people with carsickness repeatedly stimulate vestibular function, they can also remove the symptoms of carsickness. The best example is that pilots have a training program to train vestibular function, sitting in a chair repeatedly and rotating in all directions.
