    Is there a doctor in the house?

    Okay, here is my problem:

    Foremost, define an "extended period of time" as 3+ consecutive hours of gaming with no breaks.

    While playing the XBOX game "Halo: Combat Evolved" for an "extended period of time", I develop moderate to severe headaches. It has happened the past couple times I have played Halo for an "extended period of time". However, when I play any other video game for "extended periods of time", including other games of similar genre such as TimeSplitters, I do not develop these headaches.

    Anyhow, is this a sign of anything seriously wrong with me? What can I do to resolve the problem other than take breaks during the time I play Halo?

    Thanks.

                Strange...I was thinking vision maybe...but if you play other games and it doesn't happen then that rules that out.

                Do you sit in a comfortable position, where your neck isn't off-balance ?

                Other than that maybe it's all in your head (no pun intended). Now you worry about it happening when you play Halo and it happens...

                If anything just break up your gameplay. Go get a glass of water, stop and do 100 pushups, run around your street, etc...

                      I can't play FP shooters for more than 10 minutes without feeling like I am going to puke.

                            I might no way try and stay with me though...

                            I think it might be your combonated system of your neoglans that heat up your erotic temptations of the urlavia and it causes a brain pimhole to act eratic . That will lead to waves through your gugosilcans and usually cause what you feeling...thats just an educated guess though.
