I found this sentence in a manga and I can't understand what it means. どアップ
(or ドアップ) should mean close up, while しんどい means tiring, bothersome, hard
etc., but what do they mean when they are put together?

The scene goes like this: Two girls are nose-to-nose , one of them is
completely enthralled by the beauty of the other, and in her inner dialogue
she says "“どアップしんどい" before praising the eyes and the eyelashes of the other
girl.

I've seen it used as a hashtag on Instagram (on close up pictures) but that
didn't help me at all. Can someone help me out?

question
translation words slang internet-slang
What's the meaning of "どアップしんどい"?
* どアップ  
Yes, it means close-up. Beyond that, it usually describes an extreme close-up
shot that whole picture is covered up by the object ([often is a person's
face](https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%E3%81%A9%E3%82%A2%E3%83%83%E3%83%97&tbm=isch)).
In this specific case, it mentions the closeness with the other that she sees
her どアップ face. The prefix ど makes a very strong slang that means "total(ly)",
"absolute(ly)", or "f***ing".

  * しんどい  
The word literally means "fatigued" or "fatiguing", but also is [a recent
slang](https://togetter.com/li/1033826) that mostly used by otaku fangirls to
express they are in the climax of excitement that they "can't bear anymore".
If your description of "enthralled" is correct, it might be used in this
sense.

The sentence seemingly tells that she is しんどい being どアップ, though no particles
between them. So, some free translations would be:

> The close-up stare drains me out!  
>  The close-up stare is killing me!
