I get really nauseous and start vomiting whenever I travel, especially on long journeys. It's incredibly uncomfortable and makes traveling difficult for me. Are there any remedies or tips to help with this issue?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To alleviate travel-induced vomiting, also known as motion sickness, try these remedies: 1) choose a seat in the front or middle of the vehicle, 2) keep your eyes on the horizon, 3) avoid reading or screens, 4) take motion sickness medication like dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) or meclizine (Bonine) 30 minutes before travel, 5) use acupressure bands or ginger-based products, 6) avoid heavy meals before travel, and 7) try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation;
