motion sickness
Vehicle-induced nausea
Motion sickness is the nausea, dizziness, and general discomfort that some people experience when traveling in vehicles such as cars, boats, or planes.
It results from a mismatch between what your eyes see and what your inner ear senses about movement.
Some people are highly susceptible while others rarely experience it.
I get terrible motion sickness on winding mountain roads.
Seasickness and carsickness are specific forms of motion sickness.
