Oddly enough these symptoms started and continue to go on after riding the cyclone rolleroaster in nyc, whether its coincidence or tied together I dont know. Headaches, nausea, suddeb dizzy spells and severe motion sickness but mainly when other people drive. Any idea what could be wrong. Its been over a month of this.

Hi,
Yes your symptoms are related to cyclone rolleroaster
Your symptoms are consistent with peripheral vertigo secondary to stimulation of semicircular canal in the labyrinthine region of ear which is responsible for the balance
You need to consult Neurologist/ ENT surgeon for examination
You need medication like betahistine 16 mg twice or thrice daily depending on your symptoms for 3 to 5 days.
Meantime do vestibular rehabilitation exercises also
