I'm Getting Dizzy!!??

Hello Everyone,

I am a true gamer...I play games all the time, well not all the time anymore since I got a girl and a job and everything. Well thats besides the fact, I have been playing games for about 18 years now since the nintendo days and I'm 21 now, just turned 21 March 15th. I play mostly all fields of gaming except sports...and i also play lots of DDR...

Well...suddenly...lately I been finding out that I have been getting Dizzy from playing DDR (even if I'm sitting playing on control). I also find myself getting Dizzy playing Zelda: Wind Waker, and Mario & Luigi DS. This probably started happening about a week or so and its pissing me off because its throwing my gaming way off. I can't score the way I use to in DDR anymore...and its annoying me...

When I played Zelda this morning in my gf's house I had to press pause and close my eyes and take a rest. At first I thought maybe its 3D getting to me suddenly...but after awhile I started to play God Of War with my gf...and I had no problems, no dizzyness what-so-ever...played through fine.

So now i'm starting to believe its the colors getting to me...but if it is why it suddenly starts now after so many years of gaming? Would this really cause the end of my gaming?...

Has anyone had or have this problem and know any way of solving this?


Jam it back in, in the dark.

See I would stay away from Zelda no problem...but why would God Of War (A much faster pace game) NOT affect me as much as Zelda did when all I did was walk around to find a Sail for my boat...its just to wierd that I get dizzy for selective games...

Update: I started getting a bit iffy when I was playing Paper Mario also...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I haven't been taking any medication...but my last sickness lasted me about 7 weeks. That was due by a serious ear infection I had that cause my to get headaches, soar throat, and fever. My friend thinks is because I'm just over working myself...with the DDR/ITG practicing so much and waking up early, around 6AM to help my dad with house work ever since his back gave out...

OKAY BUDDY. WE GOT IT. Are you sure you didn't make her up. Because you're not really convincing me, what with constantly mentioning her. And you've been playing video games since you were 3. Alright then. (The fuck is this shit.) Anyways, drink more water. And play less video games.

I wasn't asking for you to be a critic on my Thread...its simple advice, not for you to go ahead and block out the main point to tell me and the people what you think about the un-important facts. It just so happens I was in her house when I started realizing it...I think detail is alittle more better especially when you asking for help...and I added detail...and yes I do have a gf in which is very real...and the playing video games since I was 3...i don't know..it might just mean video gaming is an important part of my life, just because its not important to you...doesn't mean its not important to me...but thanks for your help...I think the water would be a big help to...I'm more of a gatorade, pepsi, ice tea drinker.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I know going to the doctors would help but I hate the doctors...everytime i go in with 1 problem i come out with many...i mean its good to know whats goin gon but its more stress on my shoulders to carry and i hate it...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
