condition in which a disagreement exists between visually perceived movement and the vestibular system's sense of movement
Motion sickness occurs when what you see doesn't match what your inner ear senses about movement, causing your body to become confused about which signals to trust. This mismatch can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like nausea and dizziness, making activities like car rides or boat trips unpleasant for many people.

Motion sickness occurs due to a difference between actual and expected motion. Symptoms commonly include nausea, vomiting, cold sweat, headache, dizziness, tiredness, loss of appetite, and increased salivation. Complications may rarely include dehydration, electrolyte problems, or a lower esophageal tear.
The cause of motion sickness is either real or perceived motion. This may include car travel, air travel, sea travel, space travel, or reality simulation. Risk factors include pregnancy, migraines, and Ménière's disease. The diagnosis is based on symptoms.
