Can mathematics actually be a cause of sickness?

I don't mean the phrase - I mean, actual sickness. For you see - the site of numbers make me feel like vomiting or actual makes me vomit a little. They kind of get mixed in my head and I can't concentrate then there are light flashes and whispers in my head. The numbers turn into something else entirely and I can't tell what they are or how they function.

With school, sometimes the thought of it makes me cramp up and start to scream involuntarily. Now, I'm not an emotional person or anything besides this. This might seem slow, but I'm starting to think that not everyone goes through this - I had thought virtually everyone did.

Any suggestions?

This is accurately expressed as "Numerical Morbus" The disease of numbers, it is fairly common in adolescents, but some times it can be carried into adult hood. I would be cautious if you where traveling, this could possibly have adverse effects if you where to lose control of a car, or even a bike while doing math in your head.
Good luck and I feel your pain, a friend of mine is in her late 30s and still suffers from this. She is very bad at balancing her check book.

if you are getting six from number you need a lot of help, especially if you are in school.

It's psychosomatic. Meaning, it's all in your head. See a therapist

See a therapist. It's just a phobia and easily fixed.
