Seasickness

Seasickness, also known as motion sickness or seasickness, is a form of nausea, dizziness, and vomiting caused by the movement of a boat or other vehicle on the water. It is caused by the disruption of the sensory organs in the inner ear that control balance and spatial orientation. When the boat or vehicle moves, the sensation of movement is detected by the inner ear, but the eyes are unable to see the movement. This mismatch of sensory input confuses the brain and can lead to nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. Treatment includes medications to reduce nausea and motion sickness, such as antihistamines, anticholinergics, and anticholinergic drugs. Behavioral changes, such as focusing on the horizon or other stationary objects, can also help reduce symptoms.
