Dizziness during travel and motion sickness on the road

Travel can stir up dizziness for many reasons, but motion sickness remains the most common culprit, especially on winding mountain routes. When traffic slows to a crawl or sits in a jam, poor air exchange inside the vehicle can amplify sensations of lightheadedness. An otolaryngologist notes that low oxygen levels in a stuffy cabin can hinder brain ventilation, potentially causing hypoxia that leads to dizziness, unease, and a shaky sense of balance once the traveler steps out of the car.

Practically speaking, heat inside a vehicle compounds the problem. A cabin that becomes hot and stagnant limits the amount of fresh air available, making travelers feel faint or nauseated. The doctor points out that these symptoms are telltale signs of motion sickness driven by insufficient air and oxygen in the cabin. The quickest fix is to improve air exchange by rolling down a window, inviting cooler, oxygen-rich air to circulate and relieve discomfort.

For drivers, a cautionary note: do not rely on motion sickness medications as a preventive measure while behind the wheel. These remedies are safer for passengers. If the air remains stale and symptoms persist, the safest course is to pull over in a safe location, step out for a moment to breathe fresh air, and take a short walk to reset before continuing the journey.

Needs for tire support and public safety equipment

Road safety and the smooth function of public services depend on reliable access to essential equipment. Without tires, emergency response and medical care could be delayed, jeopardizing help for those in need. In a coordinated effort, an organization focused on road safety joined a wide civic alliance to raise funds for tire purchases aimed at equipping vehicles used by the People’s Police and other emergency and humanitarian units operating in the region. Contributions can be made through a dedicated collection page to support this tire drive initiative.

The tire campaign forms part of a broader push to ensure mobility and rapid response during crises, underscoring a commitment to community safety and resilience in difficult environments. The effort emphasizes how tangible supplies, including tires, enable essential services and relief work to continue when times are tough. Coverage of the campaign by Radio Sputnik provides context and awareness for the public.
