Brief Answer:
Get examined and take treatment as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
There is a possibility of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo aggravated by ride.
You should get examined by a physician or neurologist.
Drugs like cinnarizine or betahistine can be taken.
Is there any headache, vomiting, loss of consciousness, visual abnormalities, speech changes, walking difficulties or limb weakness?
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further information.
