Is motion sickness life threatening?
No, motion sickness is not life-threatening. Studies show that at least 30% of people will experience motion sickness at some point in their life. If your motion sickness is irregular or goes away soon after traveling, then it should not worry you. However, if you experience severe symptoms from motion sickness, then you should consult our pharmacist or your doctor. There are treatment options available, such as motion sickness tablets that you can take to help prevent you from suffering from this condition when traveling.
How do i know if i am suffering from motion sickness?
Unlike other common ailments that are difficult to detect unless they symptoms are severe, it is quite easy to know if you are suffering motion sickness. It does not require a professional diagnosis. If you feel ill only when you travel or when you engage in activities that involve motion, then that is a clear sign that you are suffering from motion sickness.
When should I see a doctor?
You should see a doctor if you suffer from severe motion sickness symptoms or if it lasts for an extended period. There are many triggers of motion sickness and a doctor can help you identify the main ones and suggest the best possible treatment. While there are no special tests that the doctor will conduct, he or she will ask the right questions and present you with appropriate treatment options. You should also see a doctor if you have symptoms of dehydration from vomiting for long periods of time.
