While some people are particularly sensitive to motion sickness, there exist some risk factors that further increase the chances of the person getting uncomfortable while traveling. Women, for example, are generally susceptible compared to men. Children, especially those aged two to 12 years old, have higher risks than adults.
Certain hormones can influence motion sickness. For women, menstrual cycles, use of oral contraceptives, and pregnancy can trigger hormonal release that increases the probability of motion sickness. Patients suffering from balance disorders such as migraine or vestibular disease also have susceptibility for motion sickness.
Motion sickness can be uncomfortable for our loved ones. It is important to talk to them through this. We are all ready for you.
