Is getting dizzy on a rollercoaster considered motion sickness

Question

if so can u use motion sickness pills when u go on one to cure it

Answer 1

You can try it but only nausea and actually throwing up would tell you if it were motion sickness, I get dizzy on rollercoasters but its just the ride not anything other than that. If you take the medicine you will be dizzy and drowsy anyways.

Answer 2

Motion sickness or kinetosis is a condition in which a disagreement exists between visually perceived movement and the vestibular system's sense of movement. In other words, it's when the motion of the fluid in your ear and what your eyes see don't match.

Depending on the cause it can also be referred to as seasickness, carsickness, simulation sickness, airsickness, or space sickness.  

When you ride a roller coaster, you get temporary motion sickness.  It should stop almost immediately after the ride stops.  You can take motion sickness pills to help counteract that, but they will make you sleepy.  Try ginger candies or ginger tea before going on the rides.  They will help.
