How to prevent and treat dizziness

Dizziness that makes us feel unsteady and disoriented during motion sickness is common and treatable.

What are the symptoms of dizziness?

The following symptoms may accompany dizziness related to motion sickness:

• Upset stomach
• Vomiting
• Nausea

How can I avoid dizziness?

If you’re feeling dizzy, try these tips that can help minimize it:

• Cut out (or decrease) nicotine, caffeine, and salt. These products impair blood circulation, which increases dizziness.
• If you’re travelling by air, ask if you can move to an area that has less motion like the middle of the plane, close to the wing.
• If you’re travelling by car, call “shotgun!” Sitting in the passenger seat helps you anticipate upcoming motion, lessening the effects.
• Before you go, take a dose of GRAVOL^TM to help prevent dizziness due to motion sickness. If dizziness persists, see a doctor.

How can I treat dizziness?

If you’re already experiencing dizziness, here are several ways to help reduce the effects:

• Keep a level head: avoid extremes when looking up, bending forward or turning and twisting your head.
• Take it slow if standing up or turning from side to side. Be ready to steady yourself in the event of dizziness by holding onto something sturdy like a piece of furniture or railing.
• Drink small amounts of clear liquids such as water, soda or non-acidic juice.
• A dose of GRAVOL^TM will help treat your dizziness due to motion sickness.
