Why Motion Sickness Got Worse After COVID (And How to Fix It)
Studies since 2021 have documented increased reports of vestibular dysfunction following COVID-19 infection. Some people who never had motion sickness developed it post-infection. The mechanism appears related to inflammation of the inner ear's vestibular nerve. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months, but some require vestibular rehabilitation therapy.
