No joke. Some people get sick after playing or watching games on a regular 2D monitor.
As for your discomfort after taking the headset off, this is mostly because current VR tech strains the eyes a bit due to everything always being in perfect focus.
Here's an optometrist having his first experience with VR and talking about what he thinks:

For example, The Talos Principle, a first-person puzzle game, causes nausea in enough players -- including me! -- that there's a whole section in the configuration for "motion sickness options", like changing the field of view or disabling head bobbing. (FWIW, I was able to play through the game comfortably after switching it to a third-person viewpoint.)
- jimrandomh 10y agoEek, head bobbing? Having that on by default is a major error for a VR game.
- duskwuff 10y agoTo be clear this isn't specifically a VR game I'm talking about; it's a (somewhat) mainstream FPS-style game on the PC. Head bob isn't uncommon in these games, but it doesn't usually bother people.
- smnscu 10y agoMy wife gets motion sickness by watching even a couple of seconds of a game/video, if the camera is moving e.g. FPS games.
