Question

Computer illness


Sent to General Experts March 12, 2005 1:16 p.m.

Can symtoms of vertigo and nausea be related to being on my computer too long?

When I am on the computer for about 2 hrs. I
get a ringing in my ears..very loud. I get off
and I notice I'm a little dizzy and nauseaed.
Can being on the computer be harmful to ones
health? I have tried cutting back my time.
Sometimes it helps to just be on everyother
day. But...I'm really concerned if it's more
than just that. Could there really be a health
risk for some people being on the computer?
Thank you,
