Anyone ever get sick standing near their amp?

Whenever my amp is past say 11 o'clock it makes me sick if I stand too close. Not necessarily all that loud but maybe it's so bassy that it messes me up somehow. Like I get minor headaches, feel nauseous and some other minor symptoms. Anyone else experience this? It may not help that I have it on a stand almost head level lol.

Sounds kind of like a brown note. From Wikipedia: "The brown note, according to an urban legend, is an infrasound frequency that causes humans to lose control of their bowels due to resonance. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that a "brown note" (transmitted through sound waves in air) exists."

Saw a Mythbusters episode on it.

No, I just get a headache after practice because my guitard always has his amp turned up too loud.
