I notice that I get very bad sound sensitivity when I feel nauseous. When the nausea goes away my sound sensitivity goes away as well.

I get this too and it has something to do with the fluid levels in my middle-ear. It's really annoying when it happens though.

I get nausea and horrible sensory issues when I get a migraine...

I think it's an egg and chicken thing - not sure which causes what.

For me it's the headache or nausea that causes the sensory issues. When I have sensory issues noise can make that stuff worse, but I know for sure that sensory issues never cause physical problems for me.

I've never noticed anything like that, on the rare occasions that I feel really sick it is the most horrible feeling in the world, worse than pain or any other discomfort I've experienced, and I'm emetophobic so I fight it every step of the way, and it almost always passes without the throwing up. That's all I want to say. Or hear about. No more. End of discussion. :(

Throwing up is not as bad for me as it used to be. But I used to dread it more than anything in the world. For me it was a terrifying experience. I still hate it, but it is not near as bad as it used to be.

Me too. I still dread throwing up, but when I can't stand the sensory stuff I just make myself throw up so I can feel normal again.

Sometimes, I get tension headaches; there are times when nausea is also present.
