Have you ever gotten in the back of an Uber or Lyft and gotten car sick?
SAME.
Doctors have explained the different reasons this might happen when you're riding in a car and NOT while you drive. Here are some factors that may contribute:
- Motion sickness- Dr. Laura Purdy (a board-certified family medicine physician) explained that's when what your eye sees doesn't match up with your inner ear sense.
- Being in the back seat- Kinda along the lines of motion sickness, but being in the back can make it worse because you feel more of the movement. Dr. Samantha Nazareth (a board-certified gastroenterologist) said “You feel more force from the sharp turns.”
- The driver... is not great- Dr. Purdy said, “If he or she drives too quickly, makes sudden stops or turns, or travels bumpy roads, this could result in motion sickness and cause nausea in passengers."
- You feel anxious
