SEA SICKNESS , Motion Sickness

This is a form of motion sickness caused by erratic stimulation to the brain from the sensory receptors. This is prompted by constantly changing movement. Mal de Mer is a rather pleasant and unassuming French term for the debilitating effect motion sickness may have on your body.

Symptoms generally consist of dizziness, fatigue, and nausea, which may progress to vomiting.

Motion sickness is a very common disturbance of the inner ear that is caused by repeated motion such as from the swell of the sea, the movement of a car, the motion of a plane in turbulent air, etc. In the inner ear (which is also called the labyrinth), motion sickness affects the sense of balance and equilibrium and, hence, the sense of spatial orientation.
