If you are one of the many that has felt physically sick after playing a video game, you will understand this phenomenon. It’s called digital motion sickness and cybersickness, and it’s real. Medical and media experts have stated that its becoming increasingly common. A number of symptoms indicate you might be affected by this condition, including a sense of nausea, dizziness, and a dull headache. It is pretty similar to motion sickness, which is experienced typically on a boat, an airplane, or in a moving car.
