  • Sedatives
  • Antibiotics such as streptomycin [6]and gentamicin [7]
  • Blood pressure medicine
  • Antidepressants
  • Anti-seizure medications

Motion Sickness

Motion sickness is a feeling of dizziness that happens when traveling by boat, train, car or plane. In this situation, mixed messages are sent by the sensory organs and this results in nausea, dizziness, burping and lightheadedness.

Dizziness can seem quite normal in some circumstances. However, constant dizziness which affects your day to day activities should be checked and proper treatment should be gotten.
