Is it normal that certain music makes me feel uncomfortable

When I am watching a programme or film and certain music comes on, it makes me feel really uncomfortable and fidgety sometimes it even makes me feel sick in the pit of my stomach, sometimes it's the same with certain things I see like colours.

Is this normal :/

    Everything about television programs and films, and especially commercials--the music, the colors, the lighting, the vocal patterns, etc.--are intended to make you feel something: good, bad, happy, sad. I refuse to watch the commercial appeals with sick and starving children or animals--they can send me straight to bed crying. But that's how those organizations raise their much-needed funding, through pity and guilt.

    Now if you truly get physically ill when seeing or hearing some common or neutral things, it could be like a mental allergy, and you learn what to stay away from. The voice of Mary Hart, former host of "Entertainment Tonight," caused epileptic seizures in a New York woman. For me, the sound of Mariah Carey in some of her earlier music (when her voice was still so high) felt like someone pounding a spike into my head.

    Try to figure out why it is that you feel what you do when you do. When you understand that, you can either resolve the underlying issue or avoid it if it's something that cannot be changed. Plus, just knowing what's going on is always a comfort.

    It's perfectly normal that music or colours affect your feelings. However the way you are describing it sounds kind of weird. I guess it's normal to feel unconfortable hearing music or seeing colours that you find terrible. Can you specify the kind of music and colours you mean?
