From the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Myanmar on March 28, 2025 at 1:30 p.m., causing many areas in Thailand, especially Bangkok, to feel the tremors. Some people reported that after the incident. They still felt dizzy, similar to motion sickness or seasickness, even though the shaking had stopped.
Ms. Sasikarn Wattanachan, deputy government spokeswoman, revealed that according to the Department of Mental Health, Ministry of Public Health. This symptom is called “Earthquake Sickness” or Post-Earthquake Dizziness Syndrome (PEDS), which is caused by the nervous system trying to adjust after receiving strong vibrations. People who are sensitive to movement. Such as people who often get motion sickness or seasickness, are more likely to experience this symptom. Common symptoms include feeling dizzy, nauseated, staggering, or feeling that the ground is still shaking even after the event is over.
The symptoms may last for only a few minutes or may last for several days, depending on the individual. It is recommended that people who experience earthquake sickness take care of themselves by getting enough rest, avoiding walking or moving quickly, and if they feel dizzy, they should sit in a safe place and drink more water to help their bodies rebalance.
