Problems with lights/video games. Is it common?

[DuckieLady]

How common is it for people to have issues with lights and fast motions?

I had to look near a light yesterday at work and I suddenly felt like my brain was buzzing and like I was going to throw up, then my body wanted to lean over.

I was able to stay in control though. .

But video games are the worst thing in the last few years. Most of the newly made games make me feel like I'm going to throw up, like the dizzy feeling you get from a terrible spinny ride.

I know it could be a really, really mild form epilepsy but I'm just wondering if this is actually just normal for other people.

I also have special glasses made for my vertigo that seems to help, but I don't want to wear them unless I really have to.

There are also vertigo exercises you can do , my wife does them and they help greatly .

Could it be motion sickness ? I have that sometimes , if I ride in the backseat of a car with soft suspension for instance .

I do one that works but it doesn't help with the flashing lights when it happens. It's only been a thing for the past couple of years.

I do get motion sickness. I take Dramamine for relief when my vertigo is too severe, but it makes me fall asleep.

I was kind of hoping it is just a common thing that comes with age.
