Seasickness

Seasickness manifests with discomfort in the stomach, nausea, vomiting. These symptoms are accompanied by pallor, sweating, dizziness or headache. Symptoms subside shortly after disembarking. Seasickness occurs depending on the intensity of rocking. With constant rocking, for example, on long sea voyages, one becomes accustomed and seasickness develops less frequently. Controlled breathing helps to overcome seasickness. Seasickness is triggered by rocking transport or visual rocking. Seasickness medications have a side effect – drowsiness, and prevent getting used to rocking.
