Is it normal that i am sensitive to large changes in latitude?

If I travel more than a couple degrees in a short amount of time, (particularly travelling by air, but it happens by auto as well) I feel very disoriented until the next day, and sometimes a little sick (particularly when I'm at a higher latitude - usually when moving to lower latitudes it tends to be less stressful, but still disorienting, and there's likely some lurking variables).

I can also tell when I'm facing due N or due S by a sort of a tingling in the base of my nose, similar to when I feel a sneeze just first coming on. So I can align myself perfectly to the North or South, and fairly well to other directions, it's like having a built-in compass! Surel this can't be normal, but please don't tell me I'm not alone in this?
