I may be posting this in the wrong section but I am desperately in need of answers. I am 17 and live in Massachusetts. For as long as I can remember, when I walk in to certain rooms (or parts of rooms) my head begins to throb and I feel light headed. The majority of the time this happens in rooms with very old items/objects or if the house is old itself. But occasionally it happens in places otherwise. I have no allergies. This is a feeling I only get in situations similar to what I have described.
It doesn't happen too often. For example, my friend has a younger brother... A few times I have gone into his room but I can't stay in there because my head fiercely throbs and I can hardly focus. This has also happened in a few "antique" shops or shops with very old items that belonged to people who most likely are deceased.
About 5 years ago I went to a antique thrift shop in Padanaram. I approached the back of the store that contained very old, worn out clothing, my head began to pulse and I felt very, very out of place. That was the first time I realized the aberration of my situation.
I don't entirely believe in ghosts and I am not quite religious, but I am open to anything. I tried searching this on other websites but I found absolutely nothing. I am desperate for an answer as to why this happens, paranormal or not. I have never met someone else with the same "condition." I can say with confidence that this is unique and very anomalous. I'll appreciate any help, thank you!

I don't entirely understand it, and I'm not 100% sure on ghosts - but memories do leave a little something, I think, and if a person spends enough time loving a certain object for example, or feeling continuously depressed and resentful in a particular room, that leaves an impression. I'm pretty sensitive to other's emotions too - real, physical, living people - and it feels much like that, sometimes.
The main thing I try to remember, is that a feeling is just a feeling, and it can't hurt me. I do sometimes try to set boundaries - it sounds silly, but I'll speak firmly to an empty room and tell it exactly what's on my mind. That I don't like to be messed with. When we moved into this house, I felt like it didn't want us here. But I said to an empty room one night that we weren't going to be living here forever, maybe a couple of years or so - the house would still be here long after we were gone. And since then I haven't felt threatened, and the house feels a lot tamer since then. I think it helped that I planted a garden, too.
It could be psychological, and asserting myself to an empty room could just be a subconcious way to make myself feel better. Call it what you will. But if you do feel as though maybe you're picking up on something a little outside of what most people feel or see, just keep in mind that even though it feels weird, you're the one in charge. If you need to, just take a step outside, take a deep breath in, then out, and shake it off. You can mentally shake, or physically if you like - but it's just like a dog shaking off water. Don't carry it around with you, it'll weigh you down.
