I work for a company where I stare at the computer all day. I have had my desk measure to the right height along with my chair to fix this problem. I kept getting ill (like dizziness or light headed) at times so I got a glare screen.
I have been doing great for months but in the past week the illness has came. It make my stomach weak and I feel dizzy at times. What can I do beside quiting my job. Is thier any special excercise, diet, or fluids?
To be honest...it's the looking at the computer screen that is the problem. When you concentrate on the screen too long.....you can feel sick (i have plenty of times when typing up pages of work). So, the best cure for this is to take breaks whenever u can. I understand that your work may be highly demanding and require u to use the computer for the best part of the day- but insert my coffee breaks or something.
We do take 15 min. breaks about every two hours but I feel that isn't enough. I am going to talk to my supervisor in letting me go every hour for like 5 minutes. They are very flexible here which is awsome.
hi, we'll i know what you mean, but for me it was the noise coming out of the processor! (the part of the computer where you put the CD and diskette) the noise was very bothersome and at times upsetting to the stomach, so i got that problem fixed and this new computer is much more quieter, so that could also be the problem, well hope this helps
I also use a computer all day long. I just started my job about a month ago, and sometimes I get dizzy. What's worse though is that I am getting headaches and seeing spots. I will be looking at the screen, and all of a sudden I get a sharp, shooting pain in my head. It happens when I am porrfreading reports too. I think it is some kind of eye strain.
I have heard there are certain types of glasses that get a little darker (but not as dark as sunglasses) when you look at the screen that may help people who use computers all day. Maybe you could see an eye doctor?
happyface25--noisy computers drive me crazy! I have tinnitis and being in a room full of computers is literally torture. Luckily I have my own office and my computer is quiet. I'm glad you were able to get a new computer.
