Nerves or motion sickness? A six-question check

Answer six questions about timing, body and what has helped, and this check names the pattern and sends you to the page written for it. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere.

Questions people ask
How can I tell if my nausea is anxiety or motion sickness?
Ask whether it tracks the motion. Motion sickness starts after the movement begins, shows in cold sweat, pale skin and drowsiness, and eases within minutes to an hour of stopping. Anxiety can start hours before, peaks while you are standing still, and brings a racing heart, tight chest and racing thoughts. Many people have both at once.
Is this check a diagnosis?
No. It names the pattern your answers lean toward and sends you to the page written for it. If symptoms happen without any motion or worry, last days after a trip, or come with hearing changes, chest pain or a severe headache, see a doctor.
What if the answer is both?
That is the most common pattern in people who dread travel: the fear primes the body, the motion lands on a primed body, and the nausea confirms the fear. The plan works on both sides, with the before-you-go routine for the body and slow breathing and a decided plan for the alarm.
