Hey guys,
I'm new here and just got an official dysautonomia diagnosis in June of 2018 after 2 years of symptoms.
Based on my reading and other peoples' experience, I think my worst "attacks" (nausea, rapid heart rate, light headedness, shivering) are caused by adrenaline surges.
I am a HUGE movie fan. I've noticed, though, that I almost always have an attack when I try to see a movie in theaters. Usually it's within the first few minutes, but sometimes I'll have multiple attacks.
Does anyone have an issue like this? Or heard of it? I saw something last fall that included dysautonomia in a list of sensory processing issues but that's the first I've heard of it.
I thought it was maybe that the vibration from the sound system was messing with my heart rhythm, but now I'm wondering if it's adrenaline?
If anyone has any insight or experience I'd appreciate it. Did anything help?
I haven't been to a theater since The Last Jedi in December 2017
