What does it mean when you get sick from videogames?

asked:


I love to play them, but some, like the N64 and games like Metroid first give me a headache, then a stomache ache and then make me dizzy.

Why does that happen, what does it mean and how can i prevent it without giving up my favorite games?

   Do you have epilepsy? Had your eyes checked recently?
   Other than that, I don’t have a clue.

   Do you get motion sickness from riding in cars, planes or boats? I get motion sickness pretty easily myself and some videogames can bring it on.

   take a break for ten minutes , ie some fresh air and a glass of water then go back to your gaming.

   Definitely understand this one. Sometimes the game you’re playing is psychologically demanding. Or requires your brain to send very fast signals, over and over and over again. (like fighting a boss on Metroid), this obviously can cause eye, muscle, and “mind” fatigue. If you have a problem with knowing when to stop, schedule breaks during your game, and this problem should go away.
