Is this weird or has something changed? (Kinda long)

So from the ages of 6-13 or so I loved amusement park and carnival rides, the exception being anything that went upside down. But slowly but surely between 11-13 my tolerance slowly decreased. I use to ride roller coasters and all sorts of rides but I started getting more and more nauseous. For a while being in the car for a mere twenty minutes made me nauseous and then after time i would only get nauseous after long car rides. I recently went to six flags and had to give myself a lot of motion sickness medicine and while it helped a little I still can't handle nearly as much as I use to. My heart rate also increases and I get frightful during this mini anxiety attack wondering if I'll survive a ride that I once rode 5 times in a row. Can anyone tell me of this is normal or strange? What happened? Has anyone else dealt with this?

I'm no physician, but I can say that people's tastes change over time.

I've long been a picky eater, for example, but I've opened up to many of the foods I used to dislike. Not all of them, but many of them. ;) I also used to be able to swim deeper than 3 feet, but for some reason, I can't do it anymore without getting a headache.

I also had a friend who suddenly became lactose intolerant, which apparently is something that can happen. What's weirder is that her intolerance also went away, albeit gradually.

While your case doesn't have anything to do with the digestive system, it may be a physical change that has made you more sensitive to motion sickness. I'm not saying it definitely IS, I'm just saying it's possible.
