I Feel Sick: Is It Nausea Or Motion Sickness?
Nausea is the uneasy sensation often preceding vomiting, while motion sickness arises from conflicting sensory signals during movement, resulting in symptoms like dizziness, sweating, and vomiting. People who are nauseous may say they feel queasy or sick to their stomach like they need to throw up. If you have motion sickness, you might feel off balance or overwhelmed by motion, such as a car ride.
What Causes Nausea & Motion Sickness?
Nausea and motion sickness can stem from a variety of triggers, disrupting your ability to enjoy daily life. Often, these symptoms are linked to inner ear issues, which play a key role in balance. When the inner ear is affected, it can cause dizziness and queasiness. Factors like stress, motion, digestive problems, or injuries such as whiplash can also impact the cervical spine, further contributing to discomfort.
- Inner Ear Issues: Vestibular disorders can disrupt balance and spatial awareness.
- Conflicting Signals: Mismatched signals from the eyes, inner ear, and nerves cause motion sickness.
- Common Triggers: Reading in a car or turbulence often triggers symptoms.
- Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and heightened sensitivity to motion can increase nausea.
- Migraines: Chronic headaches can worsen nausea and sensitivity to movement.
- Visual Disturbances: Blurry vision or trouble focusing may accompany nausea and motion sickness.
