A member asked:
Husband has on and off vertigo problems last boat ride many years back he go very ill even though took meds. been invited on boat again-should he go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: With his sensitivity to vertigo and prior motion sickness it's a good bet he'll have the same symptoms again and not enjoy the trip. Medications can help, but not prevent the symptoms.
