What Causes Dizziness When Using Computers Or Watching Movie?

During a screening of Transformers: Age of Extinction in IMAX 3D, I started to feel lightheaded and dizzy. My heart was racing really fast. I controlled my breathing and, despite these issues, enjoyed the film in full. I returned home and when I went on my computer, I began to feel lightheaded and dizzy again slightly. Does anyone know what this could be?

Dear Patient,
You may be having mild seizures triggered by the computer screen. Alternatively, a type of migraine without a headache (or migraine equivalent) is possible. THank you.
