Hello,

Till date, no such effects are known to occur although the initial few sessions can cause very different experience. Talk to your centre about it as some improper regulation of UV exposure could have occurred leading to illness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
