Travel Health

Motion sickness and vertigo are conditions caused by inner ear disturbances, often triggered by repeated movement during travel—such as in a car, boat, or airplane. Motion sickness typically results in nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. Vertigo, on the other hand, causes a spinning sensation or loss of balance, often making it feel like you’re about to fall. Both conditions can be uncomfortable and disruptive. If you’re experiencing symptoms of motion sickness or vertigo, our licensed healthcare providers at GetCare MD are available for fast, online consultations and treatment options.

Common Symptoms of Motion Sickness and Vertigo You Shouldn’t Ignore

Motion sickness symptoms usually begin with a sense of unease, followed by nausea, cold sweats, and dizziness. Some individuals may also experience vomiting or a general feeling of fatigue. These symptoms can intensify with prolonged travel or certain visual triggers.

Vertigo, in contrast, often causes a spinning sensation, even when you’re standing still. It may be accompanied by balance issues, headaches, ringing in the ears, or blurred vision. In more severe cases, vertigo can interfere with walking or standing safely.
