Default Severe Headaches while Driving

I am 23 years old. For the past two years now I get headaches and nausea whenever I get in the car. It is so bad I usually cannot drive because I just have to close my eyes and lay down while riding. I have seen multiple doctors who have all ruled out car/motion sickness. I have been prescribed about 5 different types of medication for is but none of them help. Usually the medication has to do with stress/nervousness while driving. Most of them just make me feel even worse. I have had an MRI and an angiogram done but did not get results from either. Any information/help would be greatly appreciated.

Default IF it were me?

And, I'm only speaking as one who has a relative w/this issue... have you seen an 'audiologist'? EAR GUY. Why? could be some sort of inner-ear issue.
Just a thought, but usually many types of motion set off the whole of your state of where you are in relation to the rest of the world.
IF you have a severe inner-ear problem? You'd likely be sick as a dog and nauseous all the time untill the ear nerves died.
Worth a try... Good luck! 's - j

Hi Amueller,

Do you know why they ruled out kinetosis (motion sickness)?

Are you in a mountainous region where driving involves a lot of elevation changes?

It could also be migraine; there seems to be a correlation between migraine & motion sickness. Google: motion sickness migraine for more info.
