Why do people with perfect pitch get physically sick when they hear something that's out of tune?

Asked by 28lorelei (2529points) April 15th, 2010

I know and have talked to people with AP, and many of them get nauseous or some other physical symptoms related to out-of-tune things. For my part, I get splitting headaches. Why does this happen? Is it purely psychological or is there some other reason?
