Dr. Nguyen Huy Hoang, Vietnam - Russia High Pressure Oxygen Center, Ministry of National Defense , said that motion sickness occurs in some people due to conflicting signals sent to the brain or due to over-stimulation of the vestibular system. In addition, closed spaces, cigarette smoke, gasoline, oil from vehicles... also cause motion sickness faster.
