vibratsioonihaigus

Vibratsioonihaigus, also known as vibration sickness or motion sickness, is a common condition that occurs when the body experiences conflicting signals between the senses, typically during travel or motion. It is estimated to affect up to a third of the population, making it a significant health concern.

The symptoms of vibratsioonihaigus include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and fatigue. In severe cases, people may experience vomiting, tremors, and even seizures. The condition is often linked to factors such as poor air circulation, exposure to radiation, or vibrations caused by machinery or vehicles.

The exact cause of vibratsioonihaigus is not fully understood, but research suggests that it may be related to the way the brain processes sensory information. During travel or motion, the body receives conflicting signals between the inner ear, which senses movement, and the eyes, which perceive the external environment. This conflict can trigger a stress response, leading to the symptoms associated with the condition.

There are several risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing vibratsioonihaigus, including a history of motion sickness, anxiety or stress, and exposure to intense vibrations or motion. Pregnant women, people with inner ear problems, and those who have experienced head or neck injuries are also at a higher risk.

Prevention and treatment options for vibratsioonihaigus include medication such as scopolamine or metoclopramide, which can be prescribed by a doctor. In addition, people can try to prevent the condition by avoiding conflict between the senses, using relaxation techniques, and getting regular exercise to improve balance and coordination.
