Vertigo and first person view games

I had another vertigo attack this night when replaying dishonored 2. For some reason I felt uncomfortably dizzy and I just couldn't continue playing the game anymore, which is weird because I had been playing this game yesterday and today. I ate my betahistine pill just incase it's getting worse. I have had episodes of vertigo when playing first person view games, especially when the camera rotated a bit too fast. the first time I experienced this was when playing alien isolation. After awhile I kinda got used to it and I didn't get any more dizziness until well, today.

I wonder if it had something to do of playing the game in a sleeping position.

Have you ever had a similar episode like me?

I don't usually get this when playing but every once in a while I'll just feel dizzy like I'm about to pass out. It lasts about a minute then goes away.

As far as your gaming goes, have you tried different refresh rates of your monitor? I'm not sure if this would help but maybe something like 100Hz or more would help you feel more grounded.

Also maybe try, if you haven't already, turn off vsync and lower graphics a little to reduce the input latency. I've heard that input latency can make some people sick.

Anyways, I hope you feel better and are able to play the game :yay:

Playing a game in a sleeping could be yr problem - how long are you in tht position - you got move about regularly I'd say May help blood circulation and every hour def talk a walk outside for a few mayb see if tht changes anything
