A few other xbox settings I use to declutter the screen and audio field that may help you a bit too:
Gameplay:
Interact prompt style - compact
Button hints - off
Crosshair damage feedback - off
Damage numbers - stacking
Ping opacity - faded
Obituaries - off
Minimap rotation - off
Incoming damage feedback - 2D
Hopup popup - off
Performance display - off
Reticle - customise to what suits you
Laser sight - customise to what suits you
Color blind mode - may have some more comfortable settings for you
Subtitles - off
Disable chat features
Convert incoming voice to text - off
Video:
Fov 110% - you could reduce that
Fov ability scaling - off
Sprint view shake - minimal
Audio:
Dialogue at 64%
Music volume 0%
Lobby music 0%
And lastly 😃
Kunai - off

@caffeinzombie211 gee that dosnt sound good. I'm no expert but, for whatever reason, you might need to stop playing a session before you start to feel bad, and rest for a bit.
Have you tried playing at 720 instead of 1080 or uhd. There's a big difference in the picture and it might suit you better, its much plainer and colors more subdued.
Have you fiddled with your tv/monitor settings to see if you can decrease what's causing you a problem.
Only other thing I can think of at the moment is to set damage to stacking, so there's only one number there.

@caffeinzombie211 I have my controller values for turning and up and down movement (inc ads) at what would be considered slow, as I cannot see what's going on if it's too fast.
Might be worth trying that too.

You are very welcome.
If you could post anything that worked for you (and maby why), or anything else you come across that makes for a better experience for you to play apex, that would be great.
It could help to others in your situation have a better time too, if they find this thread.
This is the way 😃🥳
