What causes motion sickness?

Motion sickness, also known as car sickness, travel sickness, and sea sickness, can occur when the brain registers a mismatch between reality and expected reality. For example, if you’re sitting still in a car but your eyes perceive motion, your body senses a conflict and you may start to experience nausea.

Scopolamine, a prescription medication, can prevent nausea and vomiting by blocking a certain neurotransmitter associated with the body's motion sickness response.

What are symptoms of motion sickness?

• Nausea
• Feelings of warmth
• Sweating
• Hypersalivating
• Stomach awareness
• Vomiting (in extreme cases)
• Drowsiness

Frequently asked questions

About Amazon One Medical

What are my telehealth options for this condition?
Amazon One Medical offers multiple ways to get care from the comfort of your own home.

If you're a One Medical member and you live in a state where One Medical has offices, you can schedule Remote Visits with One Medical providers, which are billable to you or your health insurance. As a member, you can also get 24/7 on-demand virtual care with Treat Me Now or Urgent Video Chat via the One Medical app at no extra cost, no matter where you live in the United States.

If you're not a One Medical member, you can start a one-time virtual visit with Pay-per-visit. Pay-per-visit offers two types of telehealth for Amazon customers: video visits and message-only visits. Video visits are available for $49 in all 50 states and D.C. Message-only visits are currently available for $29 in 34 states.

To see your Pay-per-visit options, first choose your state.
Can I use my health insurance for Pay-per-visit?
Amazon One Medical doesn't accept health insurance for Pay-per-visit care. You can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you for your one-time virtual visit.

If you normally use insurance to pay for your medications, you can do that with medications prescribed through all Amazon One Medical services. Amazon Pharmacy accepts most insurance plans. For other pharmacies, please talk with your pharmacy directly about insurance coverage. The cost of medication isn’t included in the cost of your visit.
What happens if my provider can't diagnose or treat my health issue through Amazon One Medical Pay-per-visit?
If your provider can’t diagnose or treat your health issue through Pay-per-visit, they may recommend that you see a primary care provider or a specialist for in-person care. If that happens, you won't be charged.
Can I communicate with a provider after I get my Pay-per-visit treatment plan?
Yes. When you use Pay-per-visit, you can message with One Medical providers within your personal dashboard for an additional 2 weeks (14 days) at no extra cost. This complimentary communication window allows you time to:
Ask follow-up questions about any prescriptions or over-the-counter medications in your treatment plan

• Connect with a provider if you think your treatment needs to be adjusted

• Tell a provider if you're experiencing side effects from your medication

• Tell a provider if there's an issue getting your prescription from the pharmacy

• Let the One Medical care team know that you're feeling better
Your secure, HIPAA-compliant message will be received by the first available provider, who will be able to review your visit’s treatment plan and any follow-up correspondence. If you still need treatment adjustments or have questions after the 14-day communication window, you'll need to start a new visit.
What if I want to refill my medication?
If your provider didn't include refills with a prescription when they sent your treatment plan through Pay-per-visit, you'll need to start a new one-time virtual visit to request another prescription.

There are many reasons why a provider may decide that prescription refills aren't medically appropriate. For example, they may want to assess how well a medication is working and whether or not it needs to be adjusted before you continue with the same treatment.
How does Amazon One Medical protect my health information?
Amazon One Medical protects customers’ protected health information (PHI) with stringent, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant privacy and security practices to keep information safe and secure.

We’re committed to building an infrastructure that fosters and promotes a culture of customer privacy and a strong commitment to safeguarding health information. We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect customer information. This includes conducting rigorous security reviews and testing during product development, using encryption to protect data, and providing features like two-step verification to help customers protect their accounts.

Amazon does not sell customers’ personal information, including PHI.

About motion sickness

What's the difference between over-the-counter and prescription motion sickness medications?
Over-the-counter motion sickness medications like dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) and meclizine (Antivert, Bonine, Dramamine Less Drowsy) are oral antihistamines that you take 30 to 60 minutes before travel. You can take them every 8 hours.

Scopolamine (Transderm-Scop) is a prescription adhesive patch that's FDA-approved to treat the nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness. You apply the anti-nausea patch behind your ear 4 to 12 hours before travel and change it every 72 hours as needed.
How can I reduce motion sickness naturally?
Some behavioral changes can help reduce the conflict between what your eyes are seeing and what your inner ear (vestibular system) is sensing. Experts recommend the following travel tips to reduce motion sickness:
• Change your posture to keep your head and shoulders still when you're in motion

• Avoid reading or looking at screens in moving vehicles

• Focus on a stable horizon or an unmoving object in the distance

• In cars, choose the driver's seat, or sit in the passenger seat and stare at the road as if you're the driver

• In boats, stick to the lower deck or midship cabins

• In trains and buses, choose a forward-facing seat

• In planes, choose a seat over the front edge of the wing
There's also some evidence that both ginger and acupressure on the P6 acupressure point on the inside of the wrist can alleviate the nausea associated with motion sickness.
Can I get motion sickness in virtual reality (VR)?
Yes. When you experience motion sickness while playing video games with a VR headset, it's called VR sickness or cybersickness. Cybersickness symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and disorientation.
Is there a cure for motion sickness?
No, there's no cure for motion sickness. But you can become desensitized to certain stimuli through repeated exposure. For example, the habituation training used for military pilots has success rates above 80%.
