Default Screen time and "motion" sickness

Does anyone else have a feeling of motion sickness after screen time, especially smart phones? Computers have been hard for me since the concussion, but a few days ago, I started to feel increasingly sick from using my smart phone. I ignored it, and after a few days it suddenly reached a point where I had severe nausea and a headache, as if I'd been reading in a moving car for hours. The severity of it lasted two days, even when not using the phone. If I pick the phone up again it comes back again much worse within a minute or two. I have had it ever since, and if I use the phone my body will feel frustrated, as if Im forcing it to do something it doesn't want to do.

I haven't had much nausea since the first few months after the concussion, and it has become easier for me to use the computer again too, on and off, until now. I can tolerate the TV longer than computers and smart phones, and the desktop computer longer than the smart phone. I always keep my brightness way down, and changed the setting that is recommended to reduce feeling sick on iPhones. I have eased off the smart phone because of this, but I just wonder why now, a year and a half later, has this issue come back, possibly even worse than it was in the beginning? Thanks.
