Motion sickness while driving?


I keep getting horrible motion sickness while driving. Its gotten so bad that I have to pull over. I get really dizzy and feel like Im going to be sick. Right after the motion sickness passes, I get a terrible headache. This just recently started to happen the past 2 weeks.

Anyone else experience this? Anything I can do/take to help prevent it?

You might want to try dramamine.

Given the sudden onset of this problem, however, I would be tempted to wonder if something else was going on here.

Any chance you are pregnant? Do you have any of these symptoms when you are NOT driving?

p.s. SKIP the dramamine if there is a chance you are pregnant.

Gravol is great.. they have this new stuff thats practically all ginger, and it doesnt cause drowsiness!

I have to drive 4 and a half hours to get to my favorite surfing spot and live on these things everytime I go

You should look out at the mountains and breath deeply... you get motion sickness from seeing jittery, close-up things contrasted wth far-away steady things, so staring away at the horizon should help.

Had motion sickness all my life. Not many problems when I do the driving. Get BONONO from a pharmacy. Works for me when I have to fly or travel. Ask the pharmacist what else is out there in case Bonono doesn't work for you.

Are you by chance hungry? The same happens to me sometimes. When my blood sugar drops suddenly. That or you may be developing migraines. Hope you figure it out.

I don't drive, but I do suffer from really awful motion sickness, and it's a horrible experience.
Don't take travel sickness tablets if you can help it.
From my experience, and that of a lot of my friends, they don't help. A few brands which I have taken don't work at all, and the others made me very drowsy (Which isn't advisable if you're driving!)

However, I discovered something called Sea Bands. They're elasticated wristbands with plastic bits in them. These press into the pressure points on your wrist and stop you from having motion sickness. It really does work - I use them regularly and since I started I haven't felt sick whilst travelling at all.
As far as I know, there are various brands that make bands like these, mine are called "Sea Bands"

Hope I helped! x
