Hi Nick et al, There could be many causes of what you describe.
To list a few… Dehydration. Blood glucose alterations (rebound hypo-glycaemia). Post-prandial depression (i.e. feeling drowsy after eating). Hypoxia (yes it can occur at lower levels especially if you are a smoker). Plus many others… Do similar things happen on the ground if you are a passenger in a car or the driver of a car? Does is depend on the weather Get yourself checked out, and also if you are considering taking medications to treat the condition, try them out on the ground first to make sure that there are no side effects that are incompatible with safe flying. All I am advocating is that if you are concerned about a health issue, get yourself checked out for several reasons, it is better to sort out health problems earlier, men don’t like visiting doctors and tend to put such matters off.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Airsickness Hi All, Despite my family connection to flying I have been a long time sufferer of airsickness. I usually enjoy the heck out of my first hour or two in the air, but after that start suffering from symptoms that gradually decrease the enjoyment level until it's really not fun at all any more. My symptoms are entirely related to drowsiness (only once have I been physically ill, and I suspect that was caused by something different altogether). Some reading I've done in the internet tells me that motion induced drowsiness is something distinct from motion induced nausea. Before I speak to a doctor, does anyone have any experience or knowledge in dealing with this problem? Cheers, Nick.
