Is it normal to be sensitive to light and sound after quiting smoking?

I get this thing where about a week after I quit smoking I get very sensitive to light and sound. The first time I quit I ended up getting weird panic attacks, brought on by certain sound frequencies and colours, especially red.
This time I've just been getting headaches if I'm talking to someone with a really loud voice, and I've also developed migraines (which I never got before). I can't really describe it except to say it feels like the barrier between myself and the world gets weaker when I quit smoking and things 'Get in me,' to the point of it being uncomfortable or painful. Has this happened to anyone else or have you heard of this?
