Question
Why do I get headaches and nausea when playing 3D games?
Answer
The main symptom is headache, occurring during the play of CF (first-person shooting game) without any related tests yet. Condition analysis: This situation can be temporarily called “3D Syndrome,” which is dizziness and nausea caused by the frequent movement of 3D visuals. It usually requires prolonged continuous play of 3D games to trigger such symptoms. Suggestion: For first-person 3D games like World of Warcraft and CS, if you play for more than a certain period, you may experience similar sensations, but this varies from person to person; most people will not have this condition. Personal experience: I now cannot play CS continuously for more than 6 hours, otherwise, I may experience symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. During the World of Warcraft public test period, I had experiences of upgrading for dozens of hours without a break, leading to extreme discomfort throughout the night, including dizziness, nausea, stomach pain, stomach discomfort, followed by headaches and coughing. Additionally, hunger may exacerbate this reaction. Lifestyle care suggestions: Dizziness and nausea while playing 3D games are similar to the reasons for motion sickness and sea sickness; let’s introduce them below.
