You're not the only one. Even when I was instructing and flying frequently, certain maneuvers would still make me a little queasy. It's nothing to worry about. You'll develop a tolerance for it.

If you got sick when YOU were handling the plane then you will probably get over it.

If you got sick when the instructor was flying the plane and showing you manuevers then that is fairly common. Take 1 dramamene tablet 15-20 minutes before flying (should be ok but ask your doc)

I've been there and done that....Just don't do what I did and take an antacid...I threw up bubbles for like 5 minutes...

When I was a student pilot in the USAF, I saw lots of guys rinse out their oxygen masks with a garden hose after a flight. They graduated. I never had problems in VFR, but I've felt a little queasy a couple of times in IFR.

I spent every hour of my private getting sick. Got sick on my private checkride (I think my instrument too).

I went on to have a sucessuful avaition career. Don't worry it will pass.

BTW, I still get that sick feeling in my stomach when I'm in the back of an airplane.
