Thumbs down Airsickness

I'm a young cpl VFR pilot and would like to go as far as possible with my career. However, I get sick from too many steep turns and unusual attitude sequences. Everyday charter flying is no problem, but to many "g"(s) and I start to get airsick. In the past heat and sinus congestion have contributed to the problem. From what I have read in books, ones tolerance to this is low during adolesences, but improves with age. My older sister used to get airsick as a child even in straight and level flight in an airlines, but as an adult she is o.k. Also tolerance is supposed to improve with exposure, but will it eventually improve?
I can take pills to prevent airsickness, but would rather work on not getting to that stage.

I would appreciate any advice from those who are in the know or who have been through it all.
