There's this certain band with a few songs that give me a vertigo-like feeling.
I experience something like this too! It's affected me my whole life with certain songs (especially ones with loud bass), but it's much better now than when I was younger. My parents always called it "the music thing" - when it hit me, I would have a complete and total meltdown/outburst. It's not in a hypersensitive hearing way of "ahh that's too loud," but something about certain songs at certain times that just makes my heart rate speed up, I become completely dizzy/nauseous, and parts of the song start to repeat over and over in my head accompanied by one of the worst vertigo-like feelings I can imagine. Is that similar to what you experience at all?
The music is psychedelic and repetitive and it just messes with my brain. Someone once said something about it being my brainwaves and the music at equilibrium. Not sure I agree with it. It's more like it speeds my neurotransmitters up, kind of like how a seizure triggers when too many are released.
It's like being really drunk or hungover when you need to vomit so much the world is spinning.
I think my heart rate does speed up. It tends to get abnormally fast to begin with.
People take drugs to experience this, I put on one out of three songs.

I think so. Could you give some examples?
