What's the deal...

Hey guys, i'm trying to figure out what the deal is with this: I keep getting motion sickness -- something that I have never experienced before (except in cars). I used to pride myself in never getting sea sick and I was dubbed "fish feeder" last year on my family vacation because (well, you can figure that one out)... But I have also been having problems on airplanes.

Can this be a problem with my ears? As I said, this has never been a problem before, until about 2 years ago it got extreme. I'm 25 years old ... is this something that happens in your mid-20s?

I'm supposed to go on vacation next month and we'll be on a boat for a day here and a day there... and I am terrified that I will get sick. I'm also terrified over the long plane ride to get there too! 

Appreciate any help!

    Are you hydrated when you travel? I know when I am dehydrated, I get a greater amount of motion sickness. 
  • This is a bit of a stretch- but could it be anxiety related? I have a friend who never got nauseous when flying, but then after 9/11, every time she flies she gets very sick, shaky, and light-headed. She has to take anti-anxiety meds before big trips.

    Could something have triggered this? Maybe a car accident or something?

  • This started for me in my late 20's. I found dramamine and lots of water to be helpful for planes and boats. Have you had any inner ear infections? Ive heard having many of those can cause it. Not sure though.
