What Causes Motion Sickness While Playing Video Games?

I have been having constant episodes of motions sickness from playing videogames and using the computer. I never had this problem before. It started about a month ago when I bought a new game and the motion of the ccamera made me feel sick. Now whenever I play a videogame, scroll up/down too fast or movve my eyes constantly - start feeling sick.

Hello
Motion sickness while playing video games indicate vertigo because of rapid eye movements.
This requires treatment by the use of anti vertigo drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.

Thank you
