I feel very dizzy and my stomach starts to hurt whenever I play most video games or watch animated movies. I don't know what it is and are there any ways I can still continue playing these games but without getting sick?
Added (1). why do I feel sick when I play games like Minecraft or Far Cry?
Maybe the fast pace gets to you? Minecraft looks horrendous and the other things have lots of detail or may be at a face pace. Like cartoons are usually silly and all over the place. U r getting old and simple. Maybe you can't handle all that junk intellectually. You could even be prego and have cravings as well as odd discomforts like nausea that is triggered from various things.
You have vertigo.
It's most likely motion sickness, which is caused by the brain getting confused by conflicting signals of how you are (or are not) moving between your eyes and your balance centers in your brain. With games like Far Cry or MineCraft (basically any first-person or third-person behind-view game), it can trigger the same reaction as riding in a car and looking out the window: your eyes say you are moving fast, but your body feels like you aren't moving at all. With the Sims, you aren't looking from a perspective that is swinging around all that much, so it's not as hard for the brain to handle.
It's a form of motion sickness.
Minecraft is a first person game, so the screen moves around as though you were moving through that world. Your brain gets confused seeing motion, but not actually "feeling" motion from your inner ears. This can cause dizziness, nausea, etc.
The Sims is not a first person game. So your brain knows you aren't actually moving around - just watching people (Sims) walk around in their house. So there's no confusion, no dizziness, and no nausea.
You can try to minimize the effects while playing first person games by doing the following:
* Play on a smaller screen, or sit further away from the screen. If the game isn't taking up your whole field of vision you won't have these confusing feelings.
* Play in a brightly lit room. This also helps convince your brain that you aren't "in" the game. Just being an observer.
* Play in short bursts and take frequent breaks - even if it's just to look at something else besides the TV/monitor. Again, this is to help your brain understand it's not "in" the game. Also gives your eyes a bit of exercise (focusing on different things near and far) and whatnot.
