Could you be sensitive to the emissions of the car? Gasoline, carbon monoxide, coolant has no smell. Maybe it is not your body at all but, the car that needs a good looking over for proper ventilation, etc. Chemical sensitivity can have lots of "interesting' effects.

You may be interested in the page of epilepsy.com that discusses seizures caused by things like being in a moving car:http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/epilepsy_reflex.htmlIt's not a common situation, especially for adults, but you certainly are not alone. I hope you'll explore more of epilepsy.com, particularly the information on Seizure Medicines.
