Feeling ill at the peak of magic mushrooms

Hey guys

I have tripped on nbome, mescaline,dmt and LSD many a time and would consider myself fairly experienced at tripping. However, I have recently started to experiment with shrooms (having tried many different strains) and I find that on every single trip I have, I become very ill at the peak - not during the come up as people expect.
I am also not ill in the usual way you are ill when you take shrooms. I do not feel sick, it is more a very very dizzy feeling, and feeling as though it is difficult to breathe. It is very very unpleasant, and being experienced at tripping I don't tend to panic about this- despite the unpleasantness- as I know I am safe, however the illness doesn't subside until I have begun to come down. This makes me feel as though I can't go any higher than a level 3 with this drug as I need to have some sense of what is going on to keep reassuring myself that I am ok. If I explore the higher levels on shrooms I believe it could become quite scary considering how ill I seem to feel at the peak.

I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if any one has any suggestions as to how to overcome this? I would really love to be able to trip properly on shrooms as during the peak, when I'm feeling incredibly ill, I can see the visuals are awesome, and would love to be able to focus my attention upon something other than how ill I'm feeling, but the feeling of dizziness (to the extent that I nearly pass out) is so overwhelming that I can't divert my attention from it at all.

Any suggestions welcome :)

Just so we are clear (because I don't think I explained myself properly) I feel very slightly nauseous on the come up. Then towards the end of the come up, and throughout the peak, I have waves of severe dizziness, where I feel that I have to concentrate upon breathing in order to stay conscious and not pass out. I feel that by breathing I am not receiving sufficient oxygen, no matter how deeply I inhale, my chest feels tight, and I constantly feel uncomfortable- sitting up is a lot of effort, yet lying down makes my dizziness a lot worse and makes me feel 'fidgety' lol! Should I not be aware that the shrooms I have consumed are completely safe - my friend grows them himself, and he grows many different strains, all of which I have tried- I would find this extremely worrying, and for this reason I wouldn't be comfortable tripping at a higher level then a low 3, as I need to be able to rationalise and remind myself that I am completely safe.
However I know that shrooms can offer you a deep psychedelic experience and I would love to be able to experience this, without worrying about my health.
I was considering taking them with an etizolam, and just take more, to see if that neutralises the adverse effects of them, but I know that this will stop me tripping as much :/ ... I'm just a bit stuck as to what to do!!

Thanks for all your suggestions :) it may be psychosomatic - I have considered this possibility. I will try with an etizolam and see, although unfortunately this will stop me tripping as much :/

With regards to my bp, I know that usually it isn't low, as I've recently had it checked, do you think the mushrooms could lower it somewhat?
 
Tried Z strain? It's probably my personal favorite. Almost 0 nausea (rare for any type of shroom in my experience) and amazing visuals both OEV and CEV. Also 1.5 grams is enough for a decent experience while many others I need about 2.5-3 grams as a guess (don't weigh them when picked fresh, about a hand full). Z strain dried and weighed to 1.5 g in a bun with a sausage, tomato sauce (ketchup) a little cheese and onions = delightful. Also one of the only shrooms I've bought (excluding trip to Holland and outside of that a few truffles, mostly philosophers stone).
