Temperature Drop Nausea

For many years now if I suddenly walk from a warm building to cold outdoor air for a few minutes I will get very queasy for a few minutes. It usually last maybe 5 minutes maximum, usually not even that long. I’ll almost always at least feel it some. I good portion of the time I will hack and wretch for a minute or so. A very small but non-zero portion of the time I will actually yack a little bit. It seems to require at least a sudden 30 degree temperature drop to trigger it. So going from 70 degress to 60 won’t do it. But 70 to 40 certainly will.

I’ve tried to google this to see if this effect has some sort of name, but I have found nothing.

Brandy thinks it is all in my head. I think it is a real physical effect.

Has anybody actually heard of this? Anybody else have this?

Anyone? Anyone?
