Yea it could still b some virus or hrs like me and is having vertigo spells and the car makes it worse. Im 30 and they gave me finigen and meclizine to control those symptoms. But id talk to the dr about it. Hope he feels better, it really sucks to feel that way. Does he ever tell u the room is moving on its own?
