I spoke to a local pharmacy and he said this definitely isn't normal.

I get motion sickness even in a car (unless I am sitting in the front and watching the road the whole time ).
After a one day ferry ride (on which I didnt feel motionsickness) after getting off the boat the ground was slightly moving for the next day (24 hours). I am female and was 25 at the time. So I am saying it happens to me too.
