physical reactions?

[hannah43]

I was just thinking, isn't is so bizarre how the body reacts when you lose someone? Like your heart physically hurts, and everything feels tight and heavy, your stomach doesnt feel right, and just everything is wrong.

Why?!?!

 

Does your mind just make this up?

 

its so very strange

[jimbobdaley]

Yeah it's strange... I hate it when your like driving the car or something. Then you think about your ex, then my gut just feels really heavy. I hate it

[Honesty]

I know that feeling. I don't know why. It's interesting. You can have a phsycial pain in your heart. There have been proven cases where people have died from a broken heart. That's how powerful emotional pain can be. It can result in physical.

oh i hate it! when ur ex comes onto your head ur chest goes tight and ur stomach is just........weird.

 

ive had it all- weight loss, stress headaches, panic attacks, stys, spots, infections.my body is going through it all because of what my heart is going through.

Nerve cells in the brain are closely linked to those in your stomach - closer than any other organ I believe. This is why you get "butterflies" in your stomach when you get nervous, why we feel nauseous. I don't know about the heart, but I'm thinking that its also very closely linked with our brain matter. There was a study done to see the emotional effects of those who had had heart transplants. This one guy who was a vegeterian received the heart of someone who LOVED KFC. After the transplant, he developed a certain penchant for KFC.

 

Interesting, huh?

I think it is psychological, but yes, it's incredible the pain that you can get from emotionals. Real, physical pain. It isn't even just on heartbreak either... all other things can cause it.

ive experienced those symtoms also... its horrible... thats why they say "stress can kill ya"... maybe not literally, but it just breaks you down physically... i would rather be stabbed with a knife then slowly die from all the emotional symptoms that have plagued me...

 

i wish all of you well... hugs... beebee

i actually broke out into hives all over my neck and arms every day for 2 weeks... physical manifestations of heart break are certainly a strange, strange phenomenon, aren't they?
