What should I do if I have a headache while riding in a car

With the progress of our society, almost every family has a car. However, if you drive to work, there will be traffic jams. So at this time, many people choose to take a car. A bad phenomenon will occur when taking a car, which is that you are most likely to get a headache and dizziness. However, when you drive yourself, such a situation rarely occurs. So what should you do if you have a headache while taking a car?

People who suffer from motion sickness mainly suffer from oversensitivity of the vestibular balance organ in the inner ear. He (she) can't stand the bumps and movements that others don't care about. Because of this sensitivity, they have a heavy psychological burden. They get nervous when sitting in a car and worry about getting motion sickness. Under the influence of this psychological factor, some people develop psychological motion sickness. Some people start to feel motion sickness as soon as they buy their tickets, and they feel dizzy even when lying in bed. Motion sickness is also related to a person's physical condition. Some people do not normally get motion sickness when riding in a car, but because they do not sleep well, or are in a bad mood, or are in poor physical health, they may experience motion sickness to varying degrees.

To overcome motion sickness, you should work on the following aspects:

First, do relaxation training and don’t worry too much about motion sickness. Just prepare a convenient bag when you ride and leave it alone! This will reduce the severity of motion sickness.

The second is to divert attention. When riding in a car, try to chat and laugh with others, and don't take motion sickness to heart at all. Some people don't feel dizzy when driving, but feel dizzy when riding in a car. This is directly related to attention. In practice, we have also found that some people chat and laugh with everyone when they set out on a car, and do not feel motion sickness at all along the way. However, when everyone is tired and stops talking to them, they themselves are tired too, and then they suffer from severe motion sickness. When traveling, motion sickness is often less severe when leaving and more severe when coming back.

Third, try to eat less to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and ensure adequate blood supply to the brain.

Fourth, take motion sickness medicine half an hour before departure. If you don’t have motion sickness medicine, you can also apply ginger slices or rheumatism ointment to your navel.

Fifth, try to sit in the front of the car and try not to pay attention to the fast movement of objects outside the car.

Sixth, try to ride in a car with windows that do not close very well, especially avoid large buses with air suspension. This car gives people the feeling of riding on a boat.

7. When you are in better physical condition, make a conscious effort to ride the bus more often. If you take a ride in the passenger seat of a taxi, you can also take a ride on the loop. Over time, the vestibular response of the inner ear can become dull, and motion sickness will gradually subside. This is the most effective way to treat motion sickness. My kids and my friends have had this experience and now they are completely free of motion sickness

If we suffer from severe motion sickness, we can put a piece of ginger in our mouth while riding in a car. This will relieve some of the symptoms of motion sickness and greatly reduce them. When we suffer from motion sickness, the best way is to sit close to the window. A ventilated environment will be better for motion sickness.
