Morning listees,
In an attempt to begin learning to do *some of my own repairs,
I've discovered that, when under the van looking up, I become
instantly nauseated & break into a cold sweat.  This happened
a few days ago, when looking for the source of an oil leak.
The nausea stays with me for hours after just minutes under the
van!  (I am *not clostrophobic.)

I've never suffered when changing the oil/filter--only when I am
fully under the van.  Joel Walker suggested it might be odor related,
but that's not it; I suffer similarly when I am tucking bedding into the
foot of the matress in the low end of the poptop.
Anybody else have this problem?  Any ideas what may case this?
