Expert Answer

Ride in the front seat if you can and keep your eyes looking out ahead. If you're able to drive yourself, that can also help get rid of motion sickness.

Expert Answer

The classic point in acupressure is Pericardium 6 or Nei Guan in Chinese. Studies have shown it can help with nausea. It is located on the inner side of the wrist, about three fingers width below the wrist crease. It is in the center of the wrist, between the two tendons. You can apply pressure on it for a few minutes.

It is one of the well-known acupressure points, named Zu San Li in Chinese. It is about 4 finger breadths below the bottom of the patella or kneecap and one finger breadth lateral to the tibia bone. You can feel for a tender spot and apply direct pressure.

Expert Answer

Sometimes after a heavy workout it is natural to be nauseous. You might want to cut back on the intensity of the workout in order to control your nausea.

Expert Answer

Non-medical treatment include the use of peppermint products, like peppermint tea. Also, ginger ale is supposed to help out with nausea. Try these remedies first before you seek the attention of a medical doctor. If the situation persists and you become dehydrated go to the ER.
